Quran

Student will receive a short lesson in Quran reading. We would like to inform parents that this time is not sufficient to properly learn  to read Quran. We advise parents to register children in dedicated Quran classes. KMA offers Quran reading and memorization through KMA AlMadinah School. More information about the school is available at www.almadinahschool.ca

Islamic Studies:

• • Islamic Education is taught in English to better convey the desired message to our children. We chose to take these new path for weekend learning because we feel that students have to fully understand, feel, engage and participate in their Islamic education and that can only be achieved if instruction happens in their first language: English.

  • Islamic Studies will be taught through nasheeds, stories, visual arts, drama, games, community involvement and much more.

  • The Islamic Studies curriculum will be adapted from - Weekend Learning Islamic Studies. These  books are designed to provide a meaningful direction to Islamic education for students growing up in the West.
