About Q School

Our aim is to provide the atmosphere, situation, knowledge, resources, opportunities and relationships in which a child may reach his full potential socially, mentally and spiritually as a Muslim. It is to prepare a child to take on adult life as a steadfast Muslim in an ever-changing society.

THE Q SCHOOL DAY

The teaching day is divided into five main lessons

QUR’AN RECITATION

Ability based Qur’an recitation classes

QUR’AN APPRECIATION

Focus on the Qur’an City methodology of learning Qur’an:

  • Learning the names of the chapters using the mnemonic system
  • Overview of Qur’an City (suburb by suburb)
  • Focus of each chapter along with key verses from the chapter
  • Learning a sura (recitation, memorisation & understanding)

Q JURISPRUDENCE (FIQH)

Covering the day-to-day laws to fulfil ones ritual waajibaat (Furu).

CROSS CURRICULAR

There is a focus of the day where all the areas of the curriculum are integrated and connected within a theme.

It allows learning to be less fragmented, the themes becoming the critical thinking binder that unifies seemingly unrelated information.
The major themes of focus are events in the Islamic Calendar, Aqaaid (Usul), Building of a Muslim character and the lives of the Ma’sumeen (Prophets & Ahlulbayt) as role models.
All the strategies link into these themes ensuring that students:


  • See relationships between ideas and concepts
  • 
Identify the relation between what is taught at Q School and ‘their’ world
  • Become more responsible for their own learning
) Difficult concepts are given a practical context.

SALAA

Zhuhrayn Salaa is a lesson on its own where salaa is prayed in jamaa’a for the older classes and as a class for the younger ones.
