How to enroll

Step 1: Get in touch
Call the office, text, or write through the form. Someone answers within a school day, and can say whether there is room in your child's grade.

Step 2: Visit the school
Come for a visit day: a morning in a classroom and a talk with the principal. Children come along, and parents can see the prayer room.

The visit
What a visit day is
A parent and a student arrive at eight, sit in on a morning class and see the prayer room. The principal talks with the family afterward about the grade, the Arabic classes and what the school asks of parents. Tell us about anything your child needs at the visit; we ask privately once you enroll.
