Our teachers aim to cultivate a positive connection of Islam in the everyday lives of our students with the hope that they become confident Muslims in today's global society.
Authentic Islaamic Resources
We work to connect students to reliable Islamic resources, and information. All materials and resources used with the integration of the Quran and Sunnah are checked by students of knowledge for its authenticity.
Principles of Tarbiyah
Tarbiyah is education and cultivation of Islamic principles. Our educators understand the importance of Tarbiyah in a students life. They understand that through learning experiences a child can be nurtured to develop an authentic understanding of Islam and individual relationship with Allah.
Engaging Content
We are aware that children are being exposed to many different elements which aren't conducive for their development. This is why we strive to ensure that content we design, use, and share is relevant to the everyday lives of our students. Curriculum and materials are selected with the understanding that it should be reliable, interesting, fun, engaging, interactive, hand's on and connect to learners in meaningful way.
