Answers for parents.
Do you accept students mid-year?
Yes. We admit on a rolling basis throughout the year whenever space is available in the grade.
Does my child need to be Muslim to attend?
We welcome families who want an Islamic Values-Centered education for their children. Please confirm our current policy with the admissions office.
What is the student-to-teacher ratio?
Our average teacher-to-student ratio is 1:15-20, allowing teachers to provide more one-on-one support and individualized attention. This smaller classroom environment helps foster stronger relationships, encourages student engagement, and allows teachers to better meet the unique learning needs of each child.
Do you provide transportation?
No. Families arrange their own transportation to and from school.
Do you offer before or after-school care?
Yes! We offer a Latchkey Program both before and after school. Children may be dropped off up to one hour before the school day begins and picked up up to one hour after it ends, at $10 per child for each session. For questions or more information, please contact the school office.
Is lunch provided?
Yes. Lunch is available for purchase at $6 per day. Orders are placed through the Hot Lunch portal and must be submitted by 9:00 p.m. the evening before the meal is served.
What curriculum do you follow?
An integrated, interactive curriculum with daily Arabic and Islamic Studies in every grade. Read more on the Academics page.
