LIFE AT AMJAD

A glimpse into everyday campus life

From morning assembly to science fair afternoons, here's a sample of the moments that fill an Amjad school year.

WHY FAMILIES CHOOSE AMJAD

Built on six commitments

These are the values our teachers, staff, and families return to every single day.

✦

Faith-Centered Learning

Daily Qur'an, Islamic studies, and prayer are woven into the rhythm of every school day, not treated as an add-on.

✦

Academic Rigor

A provincially aligned curriculum taught by certified teachers, with small class sizes and individual attention.

✦

Community & Character

Students graduate with strong character, service habits, and a lasting sense of belonging to their community.

◆

Bilingual Foundation

Arabic language study begins in Pre-K, building fluency and confidence alongside a strong English program.

◆

Modern Facilities

Renovated science labs, a dedicated STEM & robotics room, and a full-size gymnasium support hands-on learning.

◆

Family Partnership

Regular parent–teacher touchpoints, a family handbook, and an active Parent Association keep families close to school life.

Our daughter looks forward to school every morning. The Qur'an circle has become the highlight of her week, and her Arabic has improved so much.

The class sizes make a real difference. Every teacher knows my son by name and checks in with me regularly, not just at report card time.
