This is an effort to provide an integrated education that gives the perfect blend of Islamic ideology, academics, and exposure to extracurricular activities.

Core Curriculum and Extracurricular
Islamic Studies
The summer school had been focused on Islamic Education as one of the main areas wherein it guided them through various aspects of learning under Islam in their quest to deepen knowledge and relations with faith:

Quranic Recitation and Memorization (Hifz): The students recited the Holy Qur’an with tajweed by following the rules of proper pronunciation as assigned to them by the qualified facilitators, and they memorized surahs.
Tafsir (Qur’anic Interpretation): Taking the pupils through deeper meanings of the Qur’an and its interpretation for better understanding in respect to how the teachings relate to daily life.
Prophetic Stories and Islamic History: Students were initiated into the life of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the other central personalities in Islamic history, which helped them relate with so much Islamic endowment.
Fiqh and Aqeedah: More practical lessons were also set for these two very basic parts of Islamic jurisprudence and theology, which particularly dealt with everyday worship, cleanliness, and morality.
2. Arabic Language
Because the Qur’an was in Arabic, the Arabic language was of some importance. Teaching centered on basic grammar, vocabulary lists, and reading exercises in order to instill a sense of the aesthetics of Arabic by the same token as an ability to read Qur’anic text directly.
