ILM (Institute of Learning and Mentorship)

ILM’s mission is to establish self-sufficient full time schools throughout Pakistan that provides a High Quality, STEM Focused Education to the economically disadvantaged children.

High Standard Education
We believe a High Quality Education comes with a minds-on curriculum. ILM has designed a high standard curriculum, with the assistance of a diverse group of educators, researchers, and professionals from Johns Hopkins and University of Maryland who provide advisory and academic support to enrich ILM’s programs.

STEM Focused Curriculum
The coursework heavily emphasizes science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields to best lay the foundation of personal and professional success for children. ILM offers courses such as Robotics, Mathematical Arts and Computer Programming that allow these our students to be competitive in a global marketplace.

Character Building Integrated in the Curriculum
The aim is to develop conscious and responsible citizens who will in turn give back to and improve their communities as they grow.

Meaningful Family Engagement
ILM strongly believes in parents-teachers partnership. Meaningful Family Engagement programs have been established to involve parents, educate them about their child’s educational emerging needs and taught the strategies to act on. a Parents Teacher Association has been formed by ILM.

Appropriate Class size
Having fewer students in a classroom and more staff facilitates high-quality interactions between teachers and children. At ILM, a class size of 25 with a student-to-staff ratio of 25:2 is the largest acceptable, as defined by various professional standards.

Feedback Looped in the System
ILM believes that a quality rating and improvement system establishes quality standards and supports continuous improvement efforts. Students and parents feedback systems designed to specify quality, provide a basis for program accountability, and support program improvement.
