Frequently Asked Questions About AhlulBayt Academy

Asalaamu Aalikum! [Peace be upon you] Welcome to AhlulBayt Academy

We’re honored to have you along! So, what’s this program all about? This page will explain our mission, goal, and answer any other questions you may have:

1. What is AhlulBayt Academy?

AhlulBayt Academy is a weekend Islamic school that was launched in 2011. For the 2012-2012 year the program runs Saturdays beginning September 29, 2012 and ends May 11, 2013.

Our motto is simple: Instilling Knowledge and Imparting Values. We’ve chosen the Prophet and His Household (peace be upon them) as our role models, hence the name of our program. The program begins at 10 a.m. and ends at 3:15 p.m. During these hours students will be taught Holy Quran, Arabic, Creed (Aqaed), General Religion, Morals (Akhlaaq), Jurisprudence (Fiqh), and Islamic Enrichment (arts, poetry, writing, student created presentations and so on).  Our program is extra special because it is created, implemented, and taught by professional teachers and scholars who have years of experience teaching children!

2. Where Is the Program Held?

The program will be held at: University of Michigan – Dearborn | Fairlane Center North | 19000 Hubbard Drive Dearborn, MI

3. What Makes AhlulBayt Academy Unique?

Every part of AhlulBayt Academy is special and unique. Our staff is highly qualified and undergoes training and professional development to ensure their instruction is top notch. There is also an Islamic dress code and code of conduct that must be followed in order to provide your child with Islamic role models they can look up to. When creating this program, we looked at child development theories and worked extra hard to make sure your child has a fulfilling and age-appropriate curriculum and experience in the classroom.  There are many other qualities of our program that distinguish it, the complete list can be found here: http://www.abacademy.org/aboutus/

4. What Kind of Experience Will My Child Have at AhlulBayt Academy?

There is a positive behavior reward system where academic and social achievement is rewarded and praised at AhlulBayt Academy! We also seek to create Islamically aware students and leaders and this includes celebrating and observing important Islamic events and holidays. Parent-teacher conferences are scheduled so that you can connect with your child’s teacher and work together to allow them to achieve their greatest potential as a young Muslim!
