Truly Starting Pakistan is lowest in ranking among the nations of the

world in terms of literacy rate. Only that nation can lead the world

whose every child is equipped with good character education. Islam

teaches honesty of purpose, thought and action. It lays emphasis on

social justice and active participation in the removal of distress and

poverty. In short, it aims to the distinguish those who know from those

who do not know, those who posses from those who do not posses,

those who are powerful from those who have no power. Knowledge and

education are not a mere name of literacy; but, a great goal that

comprises the comprehension of the whole universe. The crux of

knowledge is service, humbleness, submission and assertion of

awareness. Our Holy doctrines of Islam as per our “ Deen ’’ declares character as key to success here

and thereafter. Education, therefore, is not just an exercise in an academic pursuits. It is rather a

process of character building and personality development on the basis of knowledge. Strength of

faith, dynamic personality and mastering all current disciplines to the degree of excellence should be

your aim of life. Apply yourselves and prove your mettle. AGS is to facilitate your smooth flow to the

goal with career formation.

SCHOOL SCOUTING

Aghosh Grammar School has adopted Scout method as the informal educational system. The aim of AGS Scouting is character training with the goal of helping participants to become independent and helpful, and thereby to be "healthy, happy, helpful citizens"The AGS Scout method uses appealing games in the outdoors to generate challenges which a Scout learns to solve by himself. Through the training, “Scouts are taught independence, leadership, the ambition to learn by himself, and a moral code with positive goals”. Hands-on orientation provides a practical method of learning and helps the Scout build confidence. Activities and games provide a fun way to develop skills and provide contact with nature and the environment when pursued in an outdoor setting. Scouts learn in small groups to build unity and a brotherly atmosphere. Developing the characteristics of responsibility, self-reliance, self-confidence, and readiness, the Scouts eventually learn collaboration and leadership skills. The AGS Scouting main principles are:1. Duty to Allah.2. Duty to others.3. Duty to onself.4. The boy is not governed by don't, but is lead on to do. 5. Scouting develops the spiritual side through teaching life-saving

techniques and by promoting the daily good deeds. 6. The good deed is a key component of the law and commitment. 7. Learning by doing.8. Scouts games are full of practical actions. 9. On practical work and independent learning; but for instructions

by leaders or by books.10. The phrase "learning by doing" is core point of scouting.11. Self-reliance.12. Self-governing.13. Self-learning.
