WHAT MAKES THIS SYSTEM UNQIUE?
Aligarh Public School (AGPS), since its inception from mid-sixties, has been upholding its unique standing by producing Academically strong and Ethically Sound Individuals. This uniqueness of the system is achieved by its:
(a) Philosophy and Goals
(b) Planning and preparing
(c) Teaching methodically and comprehensively
(d) Character building and personality development
Philosophy & Goals:
At AGPS sound, thorough and quality education is achieved and distinguished by the philosophy upon which it is based, the goals which are set and techniques employed to accomplish these goals. Our academic goals are:
- To qualify every student for entrance into well reputed colleges in the country.

The non-academic goals aim to prepare students who:

- Participate in extra-curricular activities, school management and community work.
- Foster tolerance, cooperation and teamwork
Above all, our academic and non-academic goals add value to each individual which ultimately guarantee success of the institution.
Planning and Preparing:
We believe that thorough planning precedes effective teaching. Therefore, a detailed but comprehensive study plan for each subject at each level is prepared. Each plan includes:
(a) What is to be taught?
(b) When is to be taught?
(c) How is to be taught?
(d) How is to be evaluated?
The most important feature of the planning is that each plan for each stage dovetails with that of the following stage, ensuring that nothing essential to further learning is omitted, and enabling the transitions from year to year to be smooth and successful.
Teaching Methods:
The varied teaching methods are used inside the classroom in order to sustain interest of the students. The salient features of our teaching methods are:
- Learner Centred Approach
- Activity Based Teaching
- Group Work / Pair Work
- Oral / Written Work
Above all, class time is utilized by building solid foundations of knowledge through interacting, analyzing, forming and expressing opinions, and through effective discussions. Discussions are based on critical thinking and logical reasoning.
Character Building and Personality Development:
Being the followers of the mission of Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, we emphasize on character building and personality development through a well defined “Akhlaqiat Syllabus”. We believe that without the grooming of personalities, getting mastery over academics and sports in not enough. Winning of certificates, trophies and shields would be meaningless for the students if they fail to develop human virtues. For this purpose, we have devised syllabus on Character Building and Personality Development and implemented this syllabus at every level accordingly. The salient features of this syllabus are:
- To involve the teachers in the process of grooming of personalities through definite guidelines regarding behaviourism and mannerism.
- To develop respect for religious and moral values in a convincing manner.
- To develop sense of responsibility among students to have respect & care for every person irrespective of the status which shall ultimately lead them towards better human being.
