Religious Studies

Developing a love for and understanding of God and Islam in each child is an essential goal of a New Horizon education. Our structured religious curriculum is designed to nurture a confident, faithful American Muslim identity in each student.
The spiritual life of the students is fostered through:

  • An Islamic studies program, which guides students in exploring their faith and learning ways to apply Islam in their lives

  • Qur'anic studies classes, which promote recitation, memorization and understanding of selected verses throughout the Qur'an

  • Daily Arabic instruction, which develops reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills to enable students to more effectively grasp the meaning of the Qur'an

  • An integrated character education program, which weaves universal moral values into the students’ daily experiences

  • Collective prayer once a day along with weekly Jum'a

  • Real-life application of the faith such as weekly sadaqa, community service, Ramadan canned food drive, Eid toy drive, and Hajj simulation
