Registration Open for 2024-2025 Year
Excellent full time Hifz-ul-Quran and Academics program for grades 3-8. The primary purpose of the Hifz Academy is to allow students (and their parents) the opportunity to memorize the Holy Quran completely. The school is in session all year for Hifz and Sept-June for Academics. Registration is year round. Students are expected to completely memorize the Holy Quran in 3 to 4 years.
New students will first have to be tested by the Director of the Hifz Program. If the student is not deemed ready, you may apply again at another time and you will be refunded your initial fees. Also note that academics are ONLY provided for Grades 3-8. We do accept 2nd and 9th grade students for HIFZ ONLY.
