[edit] About Headstart School
Headstart School was founded in 1991 by Naznin Murtaza and began as a Montessori in F-6/3 Sector of Islamabad, Pakistan. It is registered as private limited company. At present, it has 7 locations in Islamabad with enrollment of more than 1,700 students and 290 members of faculty and staff.
It has a co-educational setup from montessori to class 5 and beyond up to A-level. Classes 6 to O-level have separate branches for boys and girls, respectively. This separation is an outcome of a successful experiment and extremely popular with parents and students alike.
Headstart "Robofort" Center for Engineering and Robotics is in operation since 2003. Initial technical support was provided by PCS Edventures Inc.(based at Idaho, USA). At Headstart-Robofort we have dovetailed technology, engineering, communications, math, problem solving and team skills into existing curriculum with project-based learning. This is probably the best example of implementing project based learning in the world while using LEGO manipulatives.
