Islamic Curriculum

Quran, Arabic, and Islamic Studies

We educate our students based on the Quran and prophetic traditions, providing a moral framework for living as righteous Muslims. Our teachers are trained to integrate Islamic knowledge across the curriculum, enhancing students' understanding of both their subjects and their religion. This approach helps students develop strong ethics, morals, and values, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving rooted in Islamic principles.

Quranic Studies

Students learn how to read, understand, and memorize the Quran. Students are individually assigned verses from the Holy Quran to memorize and recite with precision and understanding. Quranic instruction is differentiated for each student whereby students achieve proficiency at their own pace. They also learn the proper rules and styles of recitation and how to enact what they have learned and memorized into their daily lives

Islamic Studies

Islamic studies focuses on the development of beliefs, worship, morals, and manners of Muslims. Students are exposed to the sciences of aqeedah (theology), hadith (sayings of the Prophet), seerah (biography of the Prophet), Islamic history, etiquette, and manners. This education aims to cultivate a deep understanding of Islamic principles, guiding students in their personal conduct and spiritual growth.

Arabic

Students are taught Modern Standard Arabic as a second language. Based on students’ prior learning with the Arabic language, students take grade level Arabic or Beginner level Arabic to accelerate their second language acquisition. Through this detailed curriculum, Elhaam Academy ensures a comprehensive and well-rounded education that prepares students for future academic challenges while nurturing their faith and ethical development.

Ummah Academy strives to impart pristine knowledge to the next generation of American Muslims by nurturing children’s spiritual and worldly holistic development in a safe and engaging learning environment.
