WHY CHOOSE AN ISLAMIC SCHOOL?
Sooner or later, all Muslim parents are confronted with a difficult
decision regarding the kind of Islamic education they want to provide
for their children. They have the following options to choose from:
public school, charter school, home
schooling, weekend schools and full-time Islamic schools.
The growing number of Islamic schools across the country shows that more
and more parents choose to send their children to a full-time Islamic
school many of which, including Al-Amal School, have waiting lists. Some
parents, however, are hesitant to send their children to an Islamic
school because they fear that their child’s academic achievement might
be compromised. You can check the
Why Al-Amal section to see that this is not the case at Al-Amal
School.
While Al-Amal School respects and supports the decision of every parent
who chooses the level of Islamic education that is appropriate for their
child, we encourage you to consider the following advantages of an
education at an Islamic school:
·
Your child will learn in an Islamic environment which is
in sync with the religious and moral system at your home.
·
Your child's Islamic identity and self-esteem will grow.
·
Friends and community built in the school will last for a
lifetime.
·
An education at an Islamic school helps ensure Islamic
continuity, preserving Muslim heritage and values for the next
generations to come.
The following is a testimony from one Al-Amal School parent:
"I visited the public school system and was academically very
successful, alhamdulillah. But I had always to manage to live in two
different worlds with very different value systems. Very often I felt
forced to live a split personality and couldn't focus on my studies
because I was busy thinking how I would explain something what was
happening in the school at home and vice versa. Since I have founded my
own family, I was worried how I could spare my kids of the same
experience. Finding Al-Amal School was the answer for my prayers. My
kids maintain a very high educational success level and are at the same
time in an environment which allows them to flourish, Alhamdulillah."
