OPERATIONS

Bridging the gap in education

The Bridge School (TBS) was established on February 5, 2012, in Gulistan-e-Jauhar, Karachi, with a vision to provide quality education to underprivileged children. Beginning with just 60 students in the 2012-2013 academic year, TBS has experienced significant growth, now serving 460 students across two campuses: Mughal Hazara Goth (MHG Campus) and Bango Gabol Goth (DNK Campus). Classes officially commenced on March 1, 2012. Through dedication and commitment to its mission, TBS continues to make a substantial impact on the lives of its students, offering them opportunities for a brighter future. To maintain accessibility, the school charges a nominal fee of Rs. 600 per month, covering all educational expenses. This minimal fee encourages commitment, with discounts of up to 100% available for families unable to afford it, not only this we provide free uniforms, books and copies as well. The school operates on a monthly budget of Rs. One million for its 460 students. Tuition fees contribute Rs. 250,000 while the remaining Rs. 750,000 is supplemented through donations. TBS is supported by a dedicated team of 51 paid staff members, including qualified and experienced teachers, who work tirelessly to ensure the delivery of quality education. Our immediate goal is to expand enrollment to 400 students, furthering our mission to bridge the educational gap and empower more young minds.

ACADEMIA

Committed to Excellence in Education

At TBS, we adhere to the Matriculation education system, conducting three term exams and monthly assessments to ensure consistent monitoring of both student and teacher performance. Following each assessment, we facilitate parent-teacher meetings to provide updates and gather valuable feedback. To keep parents well-informed, our SMS notification service delivers timely updates on strikes, holidays, examinations, attendance, and student progress. We maintain a firm approach to attendance, implementing strict disciplinary measures for unexplained absences exceeding three days. Additionally, computer literacy is a key focus at TBS. Computer classes are seamlessly integrated into the curriculum for Grades 1 to 4, fostering early digital proficiency. Students often display remarkable enthusiasm, with many choosing to stay after school to further enhance their learning experience.

EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

Nurturing Holistic Development Beyond Academics

Our school takes pride in its vibrant extracurricular activities, designed to foster a well-rounded education and provide students with enriching experiences beyond the classroom. We celebrate important days such as Father's Day, Mother's Day, Friends' Day, and Teachers' Day, integrating these occasions into our academic calendar. Additionally, we observe special events like Orange Day, Eid Milad-un-Nabi, Eid Millan parties, and Independence Day, bringing our community together in joyous and meaningful ways. Regularly organized field trips and sports days offer students opportunities to explore new environments and engage in physical activities, promoting both learning and well-being. Furthermore, we actively participate in community initiatives such as clean-up drives, instilling a sense of responsibility and environmental stewardship in our students. Through these diverse activities, we strive to create a nurturing and dynamic educational environment that fosters growth and camaraderie.

TEACHERS

Empowering Educators to Deliver Excellence

At The Bridge School (TBS), we place a strong emphasis on the professional development of our teachers. We have collaborated with esteemed organizations such as Durbeen, IOBM, Savaira, Coursera, and NCE to provide high-quality training. Every Thursday, we conduct dedicated in-house training sessions covering essential topics such as classroom management, Bloom's Taxonomy, teaching methods, and critical thinking. Additionally, we are actively seeking partnerships with international organizations to further enhance our teachers' skills and knowledge. Through these efforts, we are committed to fostering an environment of continuous learning and excellence in education. To further enhance student support, we are committed to hiring a full-time psychologist to assess and address individual needs, particularly for children aged 3 to 4 years. This initiative aims to improve students' well-being and attendance. Interns from the psychology departments of Karachi University, Habib University, and Bahria University also conduct sessions with our students. Looking ahead, TBS plans to develop user-friendly computer software for efficient school management. This comprehensive system will streamline processes, including attendance tracking, performance monitoring, timetables, exam results, personal records, financial accounts, and activity planning

SOCIETY

Alleviating the Financial Barriers to Education

At TBS, we are committed to easing the financial burdens associated with education, providing children with invaluable opportunities for both academic and personal development. By imparting essential knowledge, we open pathways to employment, empowering individuals to improve their socioeconomic standing. Our mission extends beyond individual success-we aim to raise awareness about the importance of education in Karachi and its surrounding areas, working towards better living standards for all. TBS is dedicated to shaping students into well-rounded, responsible individuals whose positive influence extends to their families, peers, and the wider community. This continuous cycle of learning and growth not only delivers quality education but also encourages students to foster meaningful change within their environments and society as a whole.

MONITORING & EVALUATION

Ensuring Transparency and Accountability in Student Progress

We implement a robust monitoring and evaluation framework for both students and educators, leveraging syllabi and resources from Oxford University Press and New Century. These materials, along with detailed evaluation plans, are integral to our academic approach. To accurately assess students' understanding, we conduct regular, unannounced tests that provide real-time insights into their grasp of the curriculum. Our internal monitoring system is meticulously aligned with printed academic calendars, ensuring that educational activities are carried out on schedule. These calendars, which are shared with both students and staff, outline daily lessons, significant events, holidays, and assessment dates. In addition, our SMS service plays a pivotal role in promoting attendance by alerting parents when student misses three consecutive days of school, helping to reduce truancy and maintain consistent academic engagement
