Islamic Curriculum
Quran, Arabic, and Islamic Studies
We educate our students based on the Quran and prophetic traditions, providing a moral framework for living as righteous Muslims. Our teachers are trained to integrate Islamic knowledge across the curriculum, enhancing students' understanding of both their subjects and their religion. This approach helps students develop strong ethics, morals, and values, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving rooted in Islamic principles.
Quranic Studies
Students learn how to read, understand, and memorize the Quran. Students are individually assigned verses from the Holy Quran to memorize and recite with precision and understanding. Quranic instruction is differentiated for each student whereby students achieve proficiency at their own pace. They also learn the proper rules and styles of recitation and how to enact what they have learned and memorized into their daily lives
Islamic Studies
Islamic studies focuses on the development of beliefs, worship, morals, and manners of Muslims. Students are exposed to the sciences of aqeedah (theology), hadith (sayings of the Prophet), seerah (biography of the Prophet), Islamic history, etiquette, and manners. This education aims to cultivate a deep understanding of Islamic principles, guiding students in their personal conduct and spiritual growth.
