About Our Sunday School Program
Our comprehensive online Sunday school program is specifically designed to instill positive character traits in our students, based on core Islamic values in the light of Quran and sunnah. We aim to cultivate critical thinking in our students and teach them how to objectively explore and understand religion, so that they can confidently become religious and community leaders of tomorrow.
Our program is divided into three stages, each with it’s own theme. Each theme is carefully selected with child’s age group in mind, and how children of that age group view and interact with the world. Character Building and Purification of the Self (Tazkiya) is a common theme that applies to all levels across the board.
Each stage is further classified into age-appropriate levels that gradually build a student’s knowledge about Islam, and provides them the required confidence to believe in their religion as a result of their own analysis, critical thinking, and objective reasoning.
All of our levels are taught online in an interactive manner with emphasis on discussions and activities that allow our students to explore and understand religion at a much deeper level than traditional classroom training.

Can I register my child who is younger than the listed age?
We have an age policy in place to restrict younger kids from joining higher grades. Our courses are developed with age appropriateness in mind, and it’s not fair to the children if we teach them content that wasn’t designed for their age group.
