• Arabic & Islamic Studies

Islamic Studies
Qualitative instruction in the religious sciences (Aqa'id, Hadeeth, and Tafseer & Fiqh) will be offered. The scope and sequence of our integrated Islamic studies curriculum is always under improvement. Meanwhile, we are following the IQRA and ISF curriculum. We plan to incorporate lessons from the “40 Hadeeth of Imam An-Nawawi” and ‘The Content of the Character’ of Hamza Yusuf to allow every student to memorize and become familiar with these famous teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). This collection is available on line at http://www.islaam.net/40hadeeth/frames.html.

Qur’an Memorization
Memorization is taught through individualized instruction that incorporates correct memorization and review of new material as well as ongoing cumulative review in accordance with individually assigned daily, weekly, and monthly goals. Goals are determined in accordance with the student's demonstrated ability to memorize.

Qiraa' (Qur’anic pronunciation & recitation)
Qiraa' is taught through individualized instruction towards correct reading and pronunciation of the Arabic letters and beautification of the Qur’anic recitation.

Classical Arabic Language
Preparation for learning Arabic language begins in Kindergarten and a rigorous program is in place by Second grade. The Arabic language curriculum is under development, while currently utilizing the scope and sequence provided by IQRA International Educational Foundation and Islamic Services Foundation. Portions of IQRA's curriculum guide are available online at http://www.iqra.org/.
