Curriculum

Lahore School System Academic/Training Department works very closely with teachers for a common objective: to improve

the quality of teaching and facilitate learning in every way. Our high quality, standardized curriculum has produced some of the

best Matriculation results in the country. The Academic /Training Department has a robust Professional Development Programme for teacher training and another

support function is to provide subject specific Term wise CRP (Curriculum Resource Packs) Daily Lesson Plans (DLPs) and

Monthly Unit plans to teachers. DLPs allow teachers to focus on lesson implementation; this helps in improving teaching standards by taking away the daily

planning time and effort put in by the teachers for the lesson planning. DLPs have been structured around the Curriculum

Resource Packs (CRPs) subjects and incorporate interactive teaching and learning approaches. Curriculum Resource Packs comprise of a scheme of studies related to a centralized book list of private and government

publications. CRPs are developed for two terms respectively. The teachers use these CRPs and DLPs to ensure effective

teaching and learning in the classrooms.
