ICM Weekend School Curriculum - 2007/08

1. Objectives

The primary academic objective of the ICM weekend school is to introduce and instill the main teachings of Islam into our students by the time they are ready to enter high school. We use a very structured approach to teach Islam as a religion, and not as a set of cultural practices. A student who has attended 6 or more years of this weekend school is expected to have learned the following subjects and topics.

a) Recitation of Quran: The objective of the school is to facilitate students in the reading of the Quran (not learning Arabic language). This however requires very active follow-up by parents at home. Children in 4th grade and higher are expected to be able to read Quran independently.

b) Memorization: I. Surahs - Memorize 20 Surahs (Al Fatiha, At-Tin to An-Nas)

II. Dua’s: Memorize dua’s related to Salaat and everyday affairs.
