3.1 - Academic System

3.1.1 - Junior and Middle School

The curriculum of a school reflects its aims and ambitions. Bloomfield Hall has two major targets: at the academic level, it prepares students for GCE 'O' level; at a cultural level, it is a liberal institution which encourages independent thought and critical enquiry among its pupils. Given these aims, Bloomfield Hall has designed its own curriculum which gives different weightage to different subjects in terms of a) contact time b) student assessment and promotion criteria.

Thus, for example, English and Maths at this level are considered core subjects. They are allocated comparatively more periods per week and passing these two subjects is essential for promotion. Subjects offered in Classes 1 - 8 are given in the table below.

Table

In Bloomfield Hall Schools (Junior, Middle and Upper) the following average ratios are maintained as per the School policy:

Student-Teacher Ratio = 18 students per teacher

3.1.2 - ‘O’ level Programme

All students in Bloomfield Hall schools are prepared for the GCE 'O' level examinations. After completing 'O' level, students either continue on to 'A' level or join the local scheme at Intermediate (FA/FSc) level.

Choice of Subjects
The right choice of subjects at 'O' level is very important. The following considerations are relevant:

1. For education in universities in Pakistan or abroad, English and Mathematics at
'O' level are compulsory subjects.
2. For admission to Pakistani colleges at intermediate level, 6 more subjects must be
studied including Pakistan Studies, Urdu and Islamiat.
3. To take science subjects after 'O' level, the same subjects must be studied at 'O'
level.

Keeping the above in mind, Bloomfield Hall offers the following subjects:

Compulsory: English, Mathematics

Options:

Physics, Chemistry, Biology
English Literature, Economics
Accounting, Commerce, Art & Design
Urdu, Pakistan Studies, Islamiat
Additional/Pure Maths

Students are allowed to select a maximum of 9 subjects, including the compulsory ones.

3.1.3 - 'A' Level Programme

GCE A level is an internationally recognized qualification that allows students to enter universities. In Pakistan, students with A level are admitted to BA/BSc at colleges and universities. The choice of A level subjects is important for those seeking admission to medical and engineering colleges. For medicine, A level in Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics and for engineering, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry are important. For admission to courses in social sciences and humanities, rules regarding choice of subjects are not so strict. However a sensible choice of subjects at A level can be of great assistance at university later.

Subjects offered at A level in Bloomfield Hall :

Mathematics, Statistics, Mechanics, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Business studies, Economics Accounting, Urdu, English, Law, Sociology, General Paper, Art and Design

3.1.4 - Graduate Programme
