I had an extremely disappointing experience with this school. While waiting for my child to complete a test, I observed the administrative staff making calls to other parents about additional fees related to kindergarten interviews for children who didn’t perform well in the first interview. I am sure this is the only school doing that and that is for obvious reasons, not that interest from the community and collecting more fees. Despite this, my child was initially accepted on the spot, and I was prepared to enroll my child if no better options were available.

However, when I returned to pay the fees, I encountered a troubling situation. I had a dispute with the school owner over parking, and as a result, the acceptance offer for my child was rescinded. It was disheartening to see the owner handling the situation in such an unprofessional manner. The owner's behavior seemed more focused on exerting control (like the sponsor in the movie “The Goat Life”) rather than ensuring a positive environment for students and parents. This experience left me questioning the overall management and values of the school and thanks God that the school did rescind the offer. The school owner has experience in managing small business and I don't understand how that would relate to managing a school and being involved in day to day of the school activity.

I would send my child to a public school, and I think it is going to be better than this school.

I recently attempted to enroll my 4.5-year-old son for the upcoming school year. Despite paying a fee for an assessment, I was dismayed by the treatment we received. During the assessment, my son was reportedly criticized for minor errors such as missing letters in his name and fumbling with numbers. While I understand assessments are necessary, the feedback provided seemed disproportionately negative and discouraging.

Moreover, the suggestion to rebook the test, implying additional fees, raises concerns about the school's motives. It's disheartening to feel that my son's abilities were unfairly judged, especially in what is supposed to be a supportive learning environment.

I urge parents to be cautious when considering for their children, especially if they are from our community. It's essential to ensure that schools provide fair and unbiased assessments, respecting each child's unique abilities and potential.

Waste of time and money trying to get my two sons get enrolled at the school. I was told they need to have better literacy skills. If the kids already have literacy skills like an adult, why do we need schools? These guys want kids that already know their lessons. The school isn't ready to work on kids to tech them.

If we don't give kids chance to learn and push them away saying they are weak in literacy. I believe we are not giving them chance to grow.

I had a very bad feeling about the school from the beginning but now they proved it.

Anyone trying to get their kids enrolled here, please don't bother. Just enroll them in public schools and put in a madrasa part time. You would be wasting your time and money.

Went to drop my kids this morning, lady on the reception with 0 manners, never said good morning, completely ignored my greeting, is that how you run an Islamic School?
Haven’t you learned to greet when you see someone?
you are the first person of contact, should be more respectful n most behaved.
Verry upset with the behaviour..
