Headteacher Zara Rahman said: There’s a lot of creativity and fun and academics integrated within.
“Our aim is to provide a safe environment for the children where they will enjoy learning both the deen and the dunya.”
She added: “We try to create our children to become selfless as opposed to selfish. The school curriculum was inspired by some of the works from Ibn Khaldun and Imam al-Ghazali.
“It was all about creating the soul, looking at the soul and the human being. The real human being is you inside. Within our curriculum, we cultivated those kind of work so that our children get to understand who they are.”
