At Al-Ihsan, we believe that every child and youth deserves a robust Islamic education, where sufficient knowledge is provided about every aspect of Islam pertaining to our lives. They should not only have a strong foundation in the basics of beliefs and worships, but also gain a deep familiarity with the Quran, hadith, seera, history and Islamic etiquette. They should be provided with enough knowledge and insight to navigate through all aspects of life in light of these teachings. It is with these goals that Al-Ihsan Educational Foundation launches its Part-time Islamic School, a project that will take our youngsters on a journey of knowledge, wisdom and Islamic tarbiya (training). Along the way, they will become practicing Muslims, equipped with the tools to become strong ambassadors of Islam.
Program Overview
The school offers 8 levels of education, each level consisting of 4 main courses:
1. Mastery of Quranic recitation
Objectives:
- Learning and applying basic concepts of recitation
- To gain competence and proficiency in recitation
- Build up to a level of expertise in the art of Quranic recitation
2. Memorization of Quran and hadith texts
Objectives:
- Memorization of a collection of suras in each level
- Memorization of a vast collection of supplications and adhkar

3. Islamic Studies

4. Hifz Program
Objective:
Students who have completed the basic levels of Quran recitation and memorization will be enrolled into a specialized hifz program in which they will be able to complete memorization of the Quran at a specific pace, over a period of a few years, along with their other school studies.
How it is Taught
Each course is taught in a collective classroom environment, which means that even Quranic recitation and memorization occurs in a group setting, not in an isolated fashion (where students must read on their own for most of the class). The class progresses as a group, and all students are given a fair chance to move at an appropriate pace, with ample class time given to help memorize and learn the lessons. Participation in class discussions is encouraged to build confidence in students, and time is allotted for asking questions.
Students are supported and nurtured in applying what they learn to their daily lives, and special attention is given to building strong Islamic values and character.
