Unique Child
We believe that every child is unique and each one responds to different learning methods in different ways. Importantly, we believe that every child is capable of being a strong, resilient and capable learner with the right guidance.
Enabling Environments
We view the environment in which a child learns as being key to prompting and encouraging good learning techniques. We strive to provide an enabling environment which caters to each individual child’s needs and gives them the freedom to expand their knowledge and development.
Positive Relationships
We believe that children should be encouraged to be strong and independent when required, thus forming the basis for positive relationships that they will go on to have. We are committed to giving our learners the safety and security to bolster the relationships they have with those closest to them.
Learning & Development
We will teach each child a wide range of skills to aid their physical and mental development by focusing on Personal, Social and Emotional Development, Communication and Language, Physical Development, Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the World and Expressive Arts.
OUR CORE VALUES
Welcome
A very warm welcome to Scholastica Preparatory. We are an Early Years and Primary educational facility located in close vicinity to the Askari 13, Askari 7 and Askari 14 residential communities and the historical St Mary’s Academy and College, Rawalpindi.
There is something very special about Scholastica Preparatory. Everybody who walks through our school observes how amazing our learners are, inquisitive, caring, self-regulated and aspirational. Our community is supportive of our endeavours to give our learners the very best education through our ethos of excellence, collaboration and endeavor.
Our staff are hardworking and dedicated to the learning and welfare of pupils at Scholastica Preparatory. As a research-led school, we are committed to the ongoing professional development of our staff. Regular in-house development and off-site trainings equip our teachers to create stimulating and transformative educational experiences for our learners.
At Scholastica Preparatory, we feel privileged to be amongst the stewards of the future, empowering young minds to think, question, reflect and act, guided by a sense of purpose and duty to give back to their communities wherever their journey takes them.

Safeguarding is an important part of the Scholastica Preparatory ethos, and we take a multi-pronged approach to ensuring child safety and wellbeing by focusing on:
• Child protection

• Staff-child ratios
• Health
• Managing behaviour
• Safety and suitability of premises, environment and equipment
• Information and records

6.Partnerships with parents, families and community
As much of a child’s life and education occurs outside the classroom, what happens before the school day starts and after it ends can be just as important and impactful in the lives of our learners as what happens during the school day.
• Community engagement and involvement is an important facet of the educational process at school.
