About Us
- Bilingual & Islamic Education
- Benefits of our Islamic School setting- We believe that for children to be good Muslims they have to grow up in an environment that models the ‘Sunnah’ in Islamic values and practices. - This means that parents can: - 
	have peace of mind knowing that their children are safe, being taught by practising Muslim staff who are role models 
- 
	be satisfied and observe that Islamic practices (such as praying, fasting, dressing Islamically, and reciting Quran) are part of daily life for students and staff and incorporated into the curriculum in a holistic manner 
- 
	rest assured that their children are encouraged to practice their religion freely and comfortably 
- 
	see that school is reinforcing positive practices and behaviors for home and family life, supporting their child-rearing efforts 
 - From learning within an Islamic environment: - 
	Children’s Islamic identity can be established, nurtured, and strengthened 
- 
	There is a sense of comfort, acceptance and belonging; where students feel they are part of the school ‘family’ of people who share their beliefs and practices. 
- 
	Children are protected from exposure to negative influences and haraam practices are avoided 
- 
	Islamic knowledge and morals are applied in everyday life 
- 
	Educational materials are carefully screened and sensitively created 
- 
	Where children are around other Muslim friends, these can be a source of positive peer influence. 
- 
	taught by an International Muslim Staff team, students develop a sense of belonging to an international community where all are equal 
- 
	students can be ambassadors of their faith and heritage within the global community 
 - Advantages of a Bilingual Education- Research from the Center for Applied Linguistics has shown that learning a second language at an early age: - 
	Has a positive effect on intellectual growth and enriches and enhances a child's mental development
