Weekend-Madrasah


At this day and age, we cannot overemphasise the need for our children to be imbued with the necessary moral and religious foundations based upon sound Islamic teachings. We offer Islamic studies classes during the weekends for children and youths between the ages of 5 to 21 (preschool to tertiary), tailored for students who are attending academic schools and institutes during the weekdays.

Liyana & KidsAt our weekend Islamic school, your child attends a weekly session of religious learning classes. We have in store for them an interesting package of learning initiatives that is not only unique but also innovative. Our classes are divided into 6 levels, grouped according to the child’s age. Details can be found in our School Handbook. Read on …

Textbooks

Iqra International has revised and redesigned the full-time madrasah curriculum and study materials in Singapore, under a multi-million dollar contract with the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS).  The textbooks that are used for our weekend Islamic school are published by MUIS and/or Iqra International.  The list of the textbooks and workbooks to be purchased for our weekend Islamic school is according to class level, and is available from the administration office.

No uniforms! That’s right, we do not require our students to wear a uniform. We welcome the diversity of fashion that our students use to express themselves, and it’s a good learning experience for students to learn about the acceptable styles of dressing. We are committed to standards of simplicity, neatness, cleanliness, attractiveness, modesty and good taste.

Exams
We don’t have exams too! But we do have regular assessments and project work to assess our students.
