  • We want them to believe in Allah in their hearts and recognize that He is their Lord.
  • We want the children to be aware of their duty to Allah and to be motivated to do ‘Ibadah.
  • We want the children to have knowledge of the teaching and practices of Islam.
  • We want the children to have the curiosity to know why Islam is the best way of life.
  • We want the children to develop Muslim friends, excellent character, manners, and respect for everyone.
  • We want the children to be able to deal in excellent Muslim manners with non-Muslims and with compassion & kindness for the Needy
  • We want children to be proud of their Islamic beliefs, teachings, and heritage, and explain them to non-Muslims in a coherent and compelling way

Program:

The Islamic Weekend School is focused on providing basic Islamic education and Islamic values to our children.  We have a set program and a well-defined curriculum.  Our dedicated and talented staff of volunteer teachers follows the curriculum, as best as possible. The curriculum is focused on three main areas:

  1. Quran Hifz – Basic Surahs Hifz, Meaning, & Tafseer
  2. Quranic Arabic – Reading, Tajweed, Vocabulary, Comprehension
  3. Salat, Islamic Studies & Projects - Learning & applying Islamic practices and values based on Quran & Hadith

 Levels:

Student Grade Levels are divided based on knowledge and age. The teaching of Islamic knowledge and subject matter will vary according to grade levels.  They should expect to make Muslim friends, and that they will learn new Islamic knowledge and skills as they advance through the grade levels.

  • The school will give new students a Quran & Arabic Evaluation for the Level assignment prior to finalizing the grade level placement. Evaluation is to determine how much the student knows of Quranic Arabic. Then, they will be placed in the appropriate grade level according to their age and knowledge.
  • Orientation classes will be offered to new students who need improvement in the first year. Following year they will be evaluated again and maybe able to join the regular grade level.
