And We have sent to you a Messenger from amongst you,
Reciting to you Our verses, and purifying you,
and instructing you in Scripture, and in Wisdom,
and in new knowledge about things you did not know. (Al-Baqarah, 2: 151)
The goal of an Islamic Education is to develop well-rounded and coherent
Islamic personalities able to achieve their full potential in a nurturing
academic environment.
Islamic Studies
We offer a comprehensive Islamic Studies curriculum that covers the
areas of Quranic Studies, Seerah and Hadith, Fiqh and Ibadah, Morals
and Manners, and Islamic History. Students have one period of Islamic
Studies each day. In addition, Islamic themes are integrated into
other disciplines. Students are given the opportunity to practice and
what they learn as they start the day with a morning assembly, join
the community in congregational prayer, and recite daily duas that
have been memorized throughout the day.
The goal of the program is to develop an Islamic personality through
the inculcation of Islamic values and nurturing of Islamic behavior.
Grade appropriate materials are introduced keeping in mind the maturity
and emotional development of students at each grade level.
Arabic Language
The Arabic language program includes reading, writing, vocabulary,
and oral communication. Students have four periods of Arabic each
week. The emphasis in the lower grades is on letter recognition
and sounds, numbers, thematic vocabulary, and oral communication.
Students will progressively learn to ask and answer simple questions,
read and write sentences and will be introduced to grammar.
The class will include daily dialogue and students will practice
daily duas in Arabic. InshaAllah, our goal is to graduate students
that can read the Quran and the Ahadith of our Prophet (PBUH) in
Arabic with understanding.
Quran
For the lower grades, Quran memorization is taught daily.
The emphasis is on memorization of the 29th and 30th Juz of
the Quran. The upper grades have four periods of Quran memorization
each week. Students are divided by level. The class includes
reading from the Quran daily and memorization of longer surahs.
