Junior and middle school
Bloomfield Hall has two major targets: at the academic level, it prepares students for GCE 'O' level; at a cultural level, it is a liberal institution which encourages independent thought and critical enquiry among its pupils.
Given these aims, Bloomfield Hall has designed its own curriculum which gives weight to subjects in contact time and student assessment and promotion criteria.
Thus, English and Maths at this level are considered core subjects. They are allocated comparatively more periods per week and passing these two subjects is essential for promotion.
'O' level program
All students in Bloomfield Hall schools are prepared for the GCE 'O' level examination. After completing 'O' level, students either continue on to 'A' level or join the local scheme at Intermediate (FA/FSc) level.
Choice of subjects
- For education in universities in Pakistan or abroad, English and Mathematics at 'O' level are compulsory subjects.
- For admission to Pakistani colleges at intermediate level, six more subjects must be studied including Pakistan Studies, Urdu and Islamiat.
- To take science subjects after 'O' level, the same subjects must be studied at 'O' level.
Keeping the above in mind, Bloomfield Hall offers the following subjects:
- Compulsory: English, Mathematics
Options:
- Physics, Chemistry, Biology
- English Literature, Economics
- Accounting, Commerce, Art and Design
- Urdu, Pakistan Studies, Islamiat
- Additional/Pure Maths
Students are allowed to select a maximum of nine subjects, including the compulsory ones.
'Increasing talent level' programme
GCE A level is a qualification that allows students to enter universities. In Pakistan, students with A level are admitted to BA/BSc at colleges and universities. The choice of A level subjects is important for those seeking admission to medical and engineering colleges. For medicine, A level in Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics and for engineering, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry are important. For admission to courses in social sciences and humanities, rules regarding choice of subjects are not so strict.
Subjects offered at A level in Bloomfield Hall are Mathematics, Statistics, Mechanics, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Business studies, Economics Accounting, Urdu, English, Law, Sociology, General Paper, Art and Design
