THE FACULTY STAFF & ACADEMIC STANDARD

The School is very discreet in selection of its teaching and non academic staff. While the school does not discriminate on the basis of religion or tribe in its recruitment drive, Management places premium on competence, integrity and excellent moral persuasion. All our subject head teachers are graduates with cognitive experience. The school makes it part of its policy to employ professionals in Engineering and business studies as a way of preparing the students for their life long career. The School strives continuously to improve the curriculum/academic content of its programs and activities; surpassing the standard set by the supervising Ministry.

The standard and methods of instruction are being enhanced through regular re-training and participation of our teachers in seminars and workshops aimed at updating and upgrading their competence and skills levels. Constructive criticisms are acknowledged from parents, inspectors and visitors to the schools while opportunities are created for sharing experiences at Parents-Teachers' Meeting, held every term. As a self regulating mechanism, the School has also put in place a program of independent reviews by experts in the field of education and is subjecting its standards to peer review from teachers of other notable schools.

DISCIPLINE

There is a strong commitment to discipline by the School authority. Students are expected to obey the rules and regulations strictly and follow the routine time table of activities religiously. There is a Disciplinary committee comprising of selected teaching and administrative staff to deal with special cases which cannot be quickly dispensed with by Class teachers or Boarding house masters. In such cases, where necessary, the parents of the students may be invited to the school, especially, if the student is to be suspended for more than a week. It is expected that parents and guardians would complement the efforts of the School by counseling their wards to be of good behaviour whenever they are leaving home.


TEACHING & WELFARE FACILITIES

The School is committed to providing high level standard of education comparable to what obtains elsewhere in the country. Towards this end, our educational and welfare facilities are being upgraded consistently to encourage the students to learn and enhance level of concentration. At present, we have capacity for about 400 pupils in our primary/nursery school and 300 students in our college; far beyond our current level of enrollment.
Meanwhile, we are upgrading our existing library, the Information technology workshop and the science laboratories. The millennium complex, recently completed provides separate laboratory for the teaching of Physics, Chemistry and Biology. The complex also has provision for an ultramodern computer room, a general purpose hall and a library to serve the senior secondary school pupils. Besides, management is exploring opportunities to acquire extra plots within the vicinity to construct one more students' hostel and a recreation centre for students and staff. It is our desire to employ the improvement on our teaching facilities to run specialized programs such as A- level Cambridge for our College graduates in the next few years.

The School arranges for a medical doctor to visit the School regularly and to respond to emergency cases. There is also a standby nurse to take charge of routine health related challenges while the housemasters have been trained to offer first aid services.
The School ensures regular provision of water and regular supplies of power to enable the students enjoy their stay and maintain healthy living. The School also provides the students the opportunity to exercise themselves through regular physical exercises at specified times of the day without undermining their academic works.

METHODOLOGY & APPROACH

Our focus in Sadiyyah Model Schools is on the Muslim children whose cultural needs and orientation are not sufficiently served by the conventional schools’ curriculum. We place emphasis on moral and religious education and the children are indoctrinated at the early ages to seek knowledge for the purpose of serving humanity rather than striving to acquire certificates in order to secure meal tickets. Hard work, Team spirit and Communal responsibilities are inculcated in the pupils to enable them appreciate the joy in labour, the strength in unity and fulfillment inherent in being their neighbours’ keepers.


RESPONSIBILITIES OF PARENTS & GUARDIANS

Parents are encouraged to be part of their children’s development by having to sign on their children’s homework on a regular basis. The parents are also invited to the School Open Days each term. The occasions afford the parents and guardians the opportunity to interact with the teachers and management, to inspect and discuss their children’s class work and conduct. Impromptu visits by parents are equally allowed so that they can discuss urgent matters of concern with the School’s management, especially, when immediate remedial actions can yield best result.

As the purpose of formal education is to reinforce home values and training, the School shall frown at parents who are not prepared to play their roles. We believe that discipline and moral upbringing are the collective responsibilities of both parents and the school authority.


BOOKS

Parents are expected to purchase their children's textbooks from the School. On its part, the school will always bargain for the best price to relieve parents of market exploitation. Only essential books are recommended for purchase. Parents will however, be given a list of optional books to stimulate and promote the reading habit of their children. The School library is being stocked consistently with relevant books and journals. Students are also given guided access to the internet facility to seek further knowledge on topical issues. School Exercise Books are supplied to all students at the beginning of academic year. The amount payable is normally included in the 1st term school bill. Parents and guardians should note, however, that the School does not tolerate students who fail to acquire the essential textbooks recommended for them.
