Since this Hajj Simulation event will be the last one our AGE students will be experiencing at school for years to come, the QIA Division gave the AGE students a wonderful time during the Hajj Simulation this year.
Qur’an
Our daily hour of Tahfeez program inspires our students to recognize and understand the beauty of the Holy Qur’an. Students gain proficiency in memorization by our Nouraniya-Certified teachers and develop a love through daily classes that promote Tajweed, reading, and memorization.

Arabic class is fun and exciting for all students. Whether the students are involved in the Nasheed group, Caligraphy Club or simply learning sophisticated poetry, as Al- Mutannabi, they are always having a good time as they are attaining proficiency practicing the language.
Islamic Studies
At AGE, we aspire that our students embrace a love for Islam and our cultural traditions in their daily life. Our program introduces Islamic Etiquette and Ethics taken from the Qur’an, Seerah, and Hadeeth. They are stimulated with nasheeds, dua’a memorization, and an analytical study of Islamic law. Over time, our students build a strong Islamic foundation with an emphasis on principles , values and morals from the Holy Qur’an.
