Core Program | Pre-K to High School

Our Core Program is designed to provide a comprehensive Islamic education for students of all ages. Through a blend of Quranic studies, Islamic teachings, and Arabic language instruction, we aim to nurture a deep connection to faith, knowledge, and community.

Quranic Studies

Students will engage in Quran reading, memorization, and understanding. Our program is structured to ensure that each student, regardless of their starting point, grows in their ability to read and comprehend the Quran.

Quranic Arabic

Mastering the pronunciation and reading of Arabic through the Qaida Noorania method is a cornerstone of our program. This foundation enables students to recite the Quran correctly and enhances their understanding of the language of the Quran.

Islamic Studies

Our Islamic Studies curriculum covers the essential pillars of Islam, the life of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and key moral values. We aim to help students apply Islamic teachings in their daily lives, fostering a strong moral foundation.

Morning Assembly: 9:50 AM

Before classes begin, all students gather for the morning assembly at 9:50 AM. This time is dedicated to morning athkar (remembrances), setting a spiritual tone for the day ahead. Attendance is highly encouraged to ensure a positive start to each Sunday.

    Regular attendance is crucial for your child’s progress. If your child is unable to attend a class, please inform the school in advance. Absences beyond a certain number may require a meeting with the administration.

    What should I do if my child needs to leave early?

    Please call the school office at least an hour before the desired pickup time if your child needs to be picked up early. This advance notice helps us ensure that your child is ready and that the departure process is smooth and efficient.
