School Information
The school was founded in 2022 and is in the Gungahlin Mosque area of Canberra. It began with a diverse group of pupils, and with Allah’s grace, it continues today (SWT). What does Qur’an say about school? The importance of education is repeatedly emphasised in the Qur’an with frequent injunctions, such as “God will exalt those of you who believe and those who have knowledge to high degrees” (58:11), “O my Lord! Increase me in knowledge” (20:114).
We are proud of our strong Islamic culture and the ideas we instil in our kids to help them making the best decisions possible. We encourage our pupils to strive for excellence in everything they do and attain their personal best. Our institution has a long history of teaching and memorising the Qur’an, as well as Islamic studies and a variety of science subjects.
