We are committed to nurturing their Islamic values, preserving their religious identity, fostering meaningful social connections, promoting academic excellence, and encouraging active citizenship.
We aim to expand our facilities, build financial resources and endowments, and eventually establish a full-time Islamic school with the highest academic standards.
