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.

Frequently asked questions
What is the attendance policy?
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.
What should I do if my child will be absent?
If your child will be absent, please inform the school by calling the office and leaving a message with your child’s name, the date of absence, and the reason for the absence. This helps us keep accurate attendance records and ensures the well-being of all students.
How do I communicate with my child's teacher?
To ensure smooth and effective communication between parents and teachers, we will add you to your child’s grade-level WhatsApp group. This group will be used for important announcements, updates, and direct communication with the teacher.

Students are encouraged to dress modestly and comfortably. Boys should wear long pants, and girls should wear loose clothing that covers their arms and legs. Hijabs are recommended for girls in upper grades.
