The Qur’an curriculum consists of nine levels catering for all ages and abilities. All students will be assessed during registration to be assigned the best suited level. Rest assured, students with previous studies will be taken into consideration before a level is assigned.

Qur'an Foundation
The Qur’an Foundation Level is designed for children under the age of 6 years old who are not able to read. Children will begin exploring the Arabic alphabet through phonetic sounds. With our bespoke Arabic Phonetic Sounds book, crammed with fun reading, writing and arts & crafts activities; children will become accustomed to the formations of every letter and their correct pronunciations; which is essential for reading with fluency. Children will learn the phonetic sounds through the Al Haramain Arabic and English Nashīds which involve actions relating to each letter. Children (and parents alike) will have great fun learning vocabulary through our exclusive innovative and interactive augmented reality technology medium where you will see the alphabets pop right out of the book!

Alongside learning to read, children will be memorizing Surahs from Juzz 'Amma with careful monitoring on the correct pronunciation and application of the rules.

Students will learn all the letters of the alphabet in 7 weeks using our bespoke Qur’an Level 1 booklet crammed with exercises to speed up letter recognition. Children will then move on to Al Qā'idah Al Nūraniyyah which is a specialised Qā'idah used throughout the Middle East. It incorporates learning Makhārij (correct pronunciation) and rulings in a unique repetitive rhythm enabling children to learn quickly. Furthermore, it is written in the same typography as Al Mus-haf Al Madinah making the transition to reading the Qur'an ever easier. For homework, children will be required to watch Al Haramain Word Formation Videos which summarise each lesson of Al Qā’idah Al Nūraniyyah through animation.
