What makes the curriculum unique?
Our curriculum is organized to provide a loving, unique, and Islamic environment for the care and education of our children. It is our goal
to develop in each child a love for and understanding of God and Islam and to nurture an identity in each child a love for and understanding of
God and Islam and to nurture and identity in each child as a confident and faithful American Muslim. The curriculum reflects the necessary
components for a quality program. We focus on:
* Social Awareness (respect, cooperation, and ability to share)
* Communication skills (verbal and non-verbal)
* Cognitive Growth (comprehensive, critical thinking and problem solving)
* Physical Growth (gross and fine motor skills)
These skills will be incorporated in an integrated curriculum. Integrated curriculum means that all specialists will teach the same themes,
vocabulary, and character education throughout the year. This type of curriculum will enable student's different ways to comprehend
a skill being taught. Each child is exposed to the Arabic, Islamic and English way of learning new material. Finally, spiral curriculum
builds upon and connects to learned knowledge in all educational fields.
