Curriculum

What our students study

Two tracks run in parallel across three years. Islamic knowledge gives direction; practical education gives capability.

Islamic Knowledge & Education

Taught by qualified teachers, sequenced so each year builds on the last.

Three-year study plan

Year by year

Expand each year to see its objective, subjects and how learning is assessed.

Build a secure base: correct recitation, essential Fiqh of worship, Islamic character, and the core literacy, communication and digital skills every later subject depends on.

Islamic subjects

  • Quran: Tajweed & fluent recitation
  • Aqeedah: foundations of belief
  • Fiqh al-Ibadah: purification, salah, sawm
  • Seerah of the Prophet ﷺ (Makkan period)
  • Adab & Akhlaq: Islamic manners
  • Arabic I: letters, vocabulary, basic grammar
  • Duas & daily remembrance

Worldly & practical subjects

  • Functional English & written communication
  • Digital literacy & safe internet use
  • Basic mathematics & numeracy for daily life
  • Health, nutrition & personal wellbeing
  • Home management & time discipline
  • Study skills & note-making

Assessment: Recitation checks, practical demonstrations of worship, short reflection journals, oral vivas and skill checklists.

How we assess learning

A written exam can tell us what a student remembers. It cannot tell us whether she can do. Our assessment is rubric-based: every task has published criteria describing what competent and excellent work looks like, so students always know what is expected and feedback is specific rather than a single mark.

  • Practical assignments

    Demonstrate a skill — a recitation, a lesson, a budget, a design brief.

  • Real-life projects

    Work carried out in the home or community with documented outcomes.

  • Case studies

    Apply Fiqh and ethics to realistic situations and justify the reasoning.

  • Presentations

    Explain and defend work aloud to teachers and peers.

  • Reflection portfolios

    A running record of what was learned, struggled with and changed.

  • Written components

    Retained where they genuinely test understanding, not memory alone.
