INTRODUCTION
Al-Itqān Model Academy is established as a vibrant alternative educational centre which seeks to incorporate the ideal Islamic knowledge into the conventional school curriculum without forsaking excellence in either of both. It is out to fill up the vacuum created in the conventional school systems about Islamic ideals. It aimed also to bridge the gap created by some purported Islamic schools whose actions are mostly characterized by ebullience and inordinate zeal but sound knowledge on how to address the obvious challenges affecting the Muslim children in the educational sector. Sadly, this uninformed exuberance underscores the evident incompetence of several “Islamic schools” around! On the other hand, Al-Itqān model Academy seeks to deploy the expertise and experience of its led founder, Imam (Dr.) Kamoldeen Ajijolakewu and the competence of its management committee in a non-usual but evidently effective way to address these challenges, in order to attain the desired excellence among the Muslim populace.
-
Mission: Towards building inspired Muslim
generation adorned with religious ideals and the academic excellence required to adapt
and make meaningful change in a diverse society.
-
Vision: To be a unique educational centre
where students are adorned with competitive excellence in both Islamic virtues and
qualitative western education.
COMPETITIVE PRIMACY AND ATTRACTIONS
Al-Itqān Model Academy pride itself in several exemplary and unique features. The strength of our competitiveness is our academic model, personnel and other features as detailed below:
-
Bi-modular Curriculum: Two parallel school
systems (Islamic and Arabic; Western education) shall be operated within the operational limit
of time. Each curriculum is separately designed in a manner, consistent with the best practises
in academics all over the world. The school hope to run parallel sessions for both the Islamic
knowledge and Western studies. By Allah’s Willing, students at Al-Itqān Academy will master and
speak fluently in both Arabic and English Languages. Courtesy of our syllabus and novel
teaching approach, the student will faultlessly memorise the Qur’an and will be excellent
models in conventional knowledge and perfect Islamic creed (Inshaa-LLah!). We have done it
before and are still doing it, we hope to do more...!
Trust us at Al-Itqān, your child would need no extra lesson “including Ilekewu”!!!
-
Excellence in Quran Memorization: Quran memorization
shall be the centre-point of the Islamic and Arabic section. At graduation, a primary school
graduand, by Allah’s Willing, should have committed, at least, half of the Quran to memory!
-
Effective Communication in Arabic and English language:
The medium of instruction in Arabic-Islamic courses shall strictly be Arabic Language while Western
subjects shall be taught only in English Language. This is in order to ensure perfection and fluency
in each of the two Languages. Moreover, reading by phonics is integral part of our curriculum.
-
Qualified, Experienced and Motivated Teachers:
At Al-Itqān, teachers salary is robust and competitive among other benefits. Hence, only
deserving, child-loving, qualified and experienced ones are employed in both the Arabic-Islamic
and Western sections.
-
Enhanced Morals, Virtues and Creativity: Our core
mandate at Al-Itqān is to bring the best out our pupils. We teach and impart morals, standard
virtues and we dig into their creative talents to exhibit their potentials.
-
ICT and Computer Literacy: To keep to the world
trend of attaining teaching and learning efficiency through computer literacy, a computer
laboratory unit is established where our students are exposed to moderate and beneficial use
of ICT.
-
Mode of Operation: Our mode of operation is unique!
It starts the day with detail Arabic-Islamic session where Quran and other Arabic courses are
taught in an atmosphere only comparable with Saudi Arabia, due to the medium of communication
and the style of teaching. Immediately after is the period for Western education system which
will run until 4:30 pm. This daily routine is from 7:30 am -4:30 pm daily (Mon – Fri) for a
three-term period, running on a yearly calendar from September to July.
-
Remedial Program for Transfer Pupils: In order
to accommodate prospective transfer students who may not meet the language (basically Arabic)
and other requirements of their proposed classes, an intensive remedial program will be
organised on weekends (Saturdays only) and annually, during the session break (July- August).
