Founder’s Welcome

Assalamu alaikum,

I am delighted that you are considering Shakshsiyah for your child.

The transition from Primary to Secondary is undoubtedly marked by a mixture of excitement and apprehension. It is our first priority to ensure students settle in quickly and feel at ease in their new school environment. We appreciate that students have different educational backgrounds and some may well be exposed to a subject for the first time. However, my team and I will support and encourage all of our students to ensure that they are not overwhelmed and achieve their full potential.

We have carefully designed a curriculum that aims to cater for the spiritual, intellectual and worldly needs of the student. To this end, we have placed a strong emphasis on the study of the Arabic language; the spiritual and worldly advantages of which are obvious. Moreover, the Arabic language is a wonderful vehicle for sharpening the intellectual powers and connecting the aspiring student to their Islamic heritage: it functions in much the same way as Greek and Latin did in the Liberal education once afforded children in this country. Accordingly, students will throughout the course of their time, be exposed to Arabic on a daily basis..
