Islamic Studies classes focus on learning about significant people and events in Islamic history. Quranic Studies classes focus on memorizing Surahs and their meanings; and Quranic Arabic classes focus on learning to read & write Quranic Arabic in order to read Quran. Each class level focuses on different parts of Islamic history, different surahs, and different levels of Quran reading ability. Students are evaluated and placed in the appropriate class level, based on their current knowledge, so classes are not too easy or difficult for the student, so they will enjoy coming to SALAM. Students are able to play and socialize with classmates during the break and participate in field trips for fun and to further develop positive social skills.

Students will work to apply Islamic teachings to contribute to society in positive ways through personal behavior, community service, and professions they choose. Students are able to participate in a variety of activities and field trips for fun and to further develop positive behavior, social, leadership, and organizational skills.
