Kings and Queens (School of Excellence), a project of Al-Shamim Enterprises, aims at improving the overall educational program, primarily at a junior school level. The school is launched with a sacred missionary vision, based on the true teachings of Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him). The idea has been conceived after seeing the imbalanced and almost directionless curriculum followed by our youth,
leading to the overall weak socio-cultural values. It is, therefore, a humble attempt and a serious effort taken up by Al-Shamim Enterprises, to revitalize and pursue the Islamic values in conjunction with the present day demands of our educational system. This led to a dire need, for the reorientation and development, of a syllabus aiming to meet the demands of our junior academic program. This will definitely serve the purpose of shaping the overall personality and character of our future leaders and ensuring success not in this life but the life hereafter as well. Kings and Queens School of excellence has thus exalted with a mission of promoting Arabic language as a compulsory foreign language in our early school years along with English language as a medium of instruction. Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him) once said, "Love Arabic language because of three reasons: Firstly, this is my language. Secondly, this is the language of holy Quran and finally it will be the language of the people who will be blessed with heaven."(KanzulUmmal, ShubulImanlil-Bayhaqi). After this clear instruction, significance of Arabic language is out of question. Translation and explanation skills only help us in reading and understanding Quran-o-Hadith, yet more understanding of Arabic language bestows upon us more knowledge about both its conceptual and contextual meaning as well. We are, therefore, offering Arabic language from the grass root level to the young Muslims. Afterwards, it will be decided through standard observation and assessment program at class 3, that either the child should go for completion of his/her Nazra or Hifz of Quran-e-Pak. At a later stage, there will be an optional Ders-e-Hadith classes to our senior students from class 8 and onwards. So that by the time, a student completes his/her A-Levels, they are well aware of Islamic injunctions and contribute to the well-being of the society. We believe in fulfillment of our commitment and, therefore, plan to continue Cambridge International Exams of education for our senior students. The most valued and talented passed out, A-level students, will be offered undergraduate program to further chisel their skills. At the same time, they will be backed up with strong counseling in their international placements, so that they may emerge as potential leaders in their respective fields. As part of our policy, we strictly condemn any racial or religious differences and provide an equal opportunity for every one irrespective of class, creed, cast and sectarian disparities. CHIEF EXECUTIVE MESSAGE
My first introduction to the Montessori Schooling had a profound impact on me. In Montessori, students of different ages are totally involved in "their education" to a level, I had not seen before. They are busy seeking information, solving problems, and creatively and collaboratively working together on a project. And they are doing so in a very self-confident manner. They are secured in the fact that learning is fun and interesting. New challenges are mastered without the fear of failure but with the delight of discovery and mastery. I realized, it is the need of the hour, to contribute something to the most important asset of our country. I, therefore, decided to provide an environment for our future ambassadors where we can build and develop young people's spiritual, educational and social growth abilities. Kings and Queens is, therefore, established where we can focus on character, culture and a strong commitment to the noble cause of education. A kind of education that teaches the art of honorable and mission oriented living and not just how to earn. And such an environment is only possible with the help of true guides of the society. Teachers in this respect are true guides and pillars of any institution. They guide arranging materials in a structured way that draw the student's interests. It is obvious that the teachers knew when to step back and observe and when to guide the students. A team of Montessori trained, caring and enthusiastic teachers are, therefore, selected for achieving the high missionary standards of the school. I am delighted that you are viewing this page in order to get a sense of our school. We have a strong commitment to inculcate basic Islamic values together with Maria Montessori's philosophy of education. We want our students to follow their innate drive to learn, explore the world, and effectively collaborate with their schoolmates in problem solving and creative thinking as they emerge as leaders in the 21st century. The best,
Chief Executive

PRINCIPAL MESSAGE
Kings and Queens Montessori is the name of quality Montessori education in a loving and nurturing environment. It is my great pride and honor to be the living instrument in serving a new generation of children, parents and staff. My personal reflection on Montessori education has opened my heart and spirit to the real meaning of being a teacher. I believe deeply in the value of teacher's work. I commend their dedication, commitment and love for children. In Kings and Queens Montessori, the teacher's role is multi-faceted: educator, performer, interior designer, parent advocate and leader. Our teachers grow in parallel with the children, as they help them develop in harmony with life. Above all, our teachers experience the joy and fulfillment from within and from working for a better world through our future leaders. Being a Montessori teacher is the noblest profession with the highest intrinsic rewards. Kings and Queens Montessori teachers are the pride and the soul of the school. It is my privilege to inspire them, support them and lead them to continue implementing the principles and philosophies of Dr. Montessori. As our children move from infancy through adolescence, it is a joy to see each classroom, each one a miniature community, where interdependence exists and the values of respect, harmony and love have the opportunity to blossom and grow. Montessori learning is an exciting discovery leading to love of order, concentration, obedience, discipline, motivation and joy. At Kings and Queens, the children benefit from our classroom didactic materials that are stimulating, challenging, complete, functional, beautiful, clean and sequentially arranged. It is highly rewarding to see each child working simultaneously in the classroom, each expressing his or her own interests, abilities and readiness. We affirm your trust and invite you in. We encourage parents, extended family and caregivers to participate in the life of our school and join our celebrations. On behalf of our students and staff,
Sincerely,
Principal
