STUDY CIRCLES:

Study Circles encourage students to meet up with one another and the teachers to develop social dynamics essential for any learning group. They are a means to enhance spiritual development alongside the academic progress which is ensured in online classes.  Please read below for more:

* Regular study circles take place in three major cities of Pakistan (Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad). The frequency of these circles is usually once or twice per month.

The agenda of each monthly circle is communicated in advance to the students.  Usually, one academic class  coupled with a spiritual gathering and refreshments is a general agenda; however, it may vary according to teachers’ preferences and the Study Circles Coordination Team.

* If some students cannot make it to the study groups (usually the ones living outside Pakistan) then they are required to carry out an alternate activity online or offline. This activity is subjective to students’ interests and can vary from writing a poem on the student blog to sharing different skills one may have.
