Qur’anic studies

Qur’anic studies are an important element of our curriculum from the earliest grades. In Pre-Kindergarten, students begin memorizing many of the short chapters of the Qur’an and are taught to understand the wisdom, beauty, and magnificence of the Book. As they grow older, students continue memorizing chapters as they also study the meanings and learn extensive Qur’anic vocabulary. A strong focus is placed on helping the students understand the relevance of the Qur’an to their lives by helping them understand its meanings and the principles and values that it promotes. Focus is also placed from a very young age on the correct pronunciation and reading of the Qur’an. By the time students enter middle school, they should have mastered all the rules of Tajweed so that they read correctly. In middle and high school, students continue memorizing and studying the meanings of some of the longer chapters and selected passages from the Qur’an.
