WHY ZAITOON?

Zaitoon is a unique destination for both domestic and overseas students, without any parallel or precedent in the history of India. What marks Zaitoon off other higher secondary and degree colleges is that it offers a rare amalgam of religious and secular subjects. Every faculty member, in other words every mentor, gives a hundred and ten percent to broaden their mentees’ horizon, opening the door to the echoless expanse of higher studies. That is why Zaitoon is the best jumping-off point for a journey to a great future.

1. ZAITOON HIGHER SECONDARY SCHOOL

Quality higher secondary education along with entrance coaching and Islamic studies, is a rare combination that is offered nowhere else in the country.

Syllabus

Zaitoon offers Higher Secondary course in Science, Commerce and Humanities.

With its firm foundations cemented by Islamic principles, Zaitoon also offers a religiously designed and constantly reviewed multidisciplinary curriculum of Islamic subjects including Islamic jurisprudence (both general and women-centric), Hadith, Quranic exegeses, Arabic grammar, spiritual and character education, etc with famous scholars graduated from renowned Islamic institutions of India as faculty.

2. ZAITOON DEGREE COLLEGE

Degree College is Zaitoon’s another venture that offers Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology. It is a necessary fusion of professional and practice-oriented training in Psychology along with Islamic studies. The course could also be seen as a perfect coalescence of general and Islamic psychologies. The faculty members are seasoned lecturers of the field, who believe that every student matters and ensure that they reach their true potential.

After a few months of the course, the students are judiciously classified into (i) religious scholars/orators, (ii) counsellors/trainers and (iii) writers/academicians in terms of their intellectual faculty, interest and aptitude. As students progress into sophomores, their programme of learning expands further to encompass seminars, workshops, tutorials, conferences, fora, national and world day celebrations, guest talks, rigorous and healthy debates, practical training sessions, symposia and local and national study trips meant to widen their horizon. With this engaging and action-packed curriculum awash with co-curricular activities, Zaitoon finds it easier to kindle the joy of learning within the students and keep it alive throughout the whole three years.

3. ZAITOON VIRTUAL ISLAMIC COURSE

It is an extended Islamic course that has been on Zaitoon’s drawing board ever since its inception. As the course is completely virtual, any aspirant interested to have a degree in Islamic education can apply from any corner of the world. Authentic and authoritative discussions on a wide spectrum of religious subjects give the course an edge over other online courses.

4. ZAITOON ENTRANCE ACADEMY

The academy offers a one year long course that prepares the students for The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) and IIT Engineering. In order to ensure that every student achieves their full academic pretension Zaitoon has designed the course with the distinguishing features that follow:

* best faculty in the field * Islamic ambience * state of the art infrastructure * smart & AC classrooms * exclusive AC hostels * availability of a psychotherapist for individual care & attention * intermittent and professional sessions of mindfulness * smart & digital library

5. ZAITOON BEACON

It is an autogenic training programme meant for those candidates who have been in search of an ultimate solution to rid themselves of unfounded fear, beat short memory, sharpen their concentration and after all realise the true power of their mind.

It is indeed a rest cure in which the students switch themselves off their daily chores, to put their feet up and have a complete relaxation, totally focusing on their own selves, a splendid chance to bury the dark side of their lives and kick off the life afresh once again. Beacon is thus expected to bring about many visible changes in their mindset and character and help them get over their childhood trauma and realise their true potential.

METHODOLOGY

To Zaitoon, learning is something that inheres in a student. ‘You can take a horse to water, but you can't make it drink’. Therefore, as against the traditional but still prevalent system of drilling lessons into the learner’s head or even spoon-feeding which no longer can cut ice with modern brain, Zaitoon makes use of a line-up of specially trained mentors who always go the extra mile to make sure that learning is a labour of love for every student. What is more important than the facilities themselves is what actually goes on inside the campus; the teaching learning process. Therefore, from welcoming brilliant brains aboard and ushering them out to a dazzling array of opportunities, Zaitoon makes every learner undergo a multiplicity of co-curricular activities.

CAMPUS

Zaitoon Campus is based in Chendi, Pang, a small quiet town which is easily accessible by public transport, only 10 km away from NH 66 (former NH 17). The nearest airport is just 40 km from the campus and the nearest railway stations are Kuttippuram (20 km) and Tirur (23 km) where almost all passenger and express trains have a leisurely halt.

Zaitoon houses Higher Secondary School, Degree College and Entrance Academy in a single campus, each with great facilities to support the students’ learning. The campus is truly international in both its outlook and academic system.

With this multifarious campus, Zaitoon gives the learner a warm, supportive and a university-style learning environment and provides her with modern and well resourced facilities. It is a place where individual differences are valued and celebrated and where good habits are actively cultivated. As a residential campus it provides hostel facility in its close proximity, with experienced and trained female wardens.

CO-CURRICULUM

‘The devil makes work for idle hands’. In ZIGS, therefore, co-curricular activities are as important as regular core curricular subjects. At no time does a Zaitoonite kick her heels waiting for a task as a wide range of co-curricular activities like local, national and international study trips, national and world day celebrations, student councils, guest talks, seminars, sports, etc keep them engaged all the time. The college prides itself on its brilliant and residential staff who have taken their job as a calling and passion and accomplished lady faculty, available twenty-four seven to make for the successful implementation of this laundry list of extended activities.

ENGLISH EVERY INCH

To support easy and systematic acquisition of English, which is always inevitable for a better performance, regardless of the learners’ career, Zaitoon attaches not inconsiderable importance to English in the following ways:


 * like any international institution, English is the only medium of communication both inside and outside the classroom
 * facilitates listening to authentic audios to make sure that she learns both informal and professional English straight from the horse’s mouth
 * creates a native English atmosphere by learning sounds and how to read phonetic transcriptions given in Advanced Dictionaries and conducts regular accent neutralisation classes
 * boosts confidence in writing through spelling bee, essay writing, article writing, poem writing, travelogue writing, etc. and
 * facilitates eligible students to take globally recognised exams of Cambridge Objective PET.

ADMISSIONS POLICY

Zaitoon adopts a strict and firm policy of ‘Screen and Select’. Under no circumstances does a candidate gain admission without written application and the subsequent screening which includes both written and face-to-face interviews. If the candidate gets through the first round of written test she will be called for the second round of face-to-face talk on a later date. If, unfortunately, the candidate falls at the first hurdle of written interview the application will not proceed to the second round.

Only those candidates who get through both the rounds are eventually offered a place at the campus.
