This is the best school. Teachers and management work very hard to make it a good school. They are expert at STEM and Islam, my kids improved a lot and they do great with Math. My child learned how to read quran and pray on time. Most important thing for me

This is a good school, but more importantly, for me was to have my child learn manners and love for Allah and their parents. Many schools teach students how to be a rebel. Alhamdulillah, this school is an option for us. I love this school. I like the way they have maintained the standard over years. Thank you!
