طَلَبُ العِلْمِ فَريْضَةٌ على كلِّ مسلمٍ ومسلمه
Seeking Of Knowledge Is An Obligation Upon Every Muslim, Be It A Man Or A Woman

VISION:
The training and education of our children must be our highest priority. Providing an Islamic Education is a substantial investment and sacrifice. But as we consider the responsibility that Allah has entrusted to us as parents, it can be the best investment that we ever make.When our children are young it is so important that they receive a strong and consistent message, thereby contributing to a solid foundation that the child can use through out his life.

The Sunday Islamic School at Jaffarya Center exists to provide a quality Islam-centered education that promotes moral character, values and academic learning based on Quran and Shia Ithna Asheri faith and beliefs.

According to Imam Ali AS “The most complete gift of Allah is the life based on knowledge”. While the Islamic Education begins at home, it is formally conducted through madrasah which place a major role in developing the Islamic identity of our children.

We have a team of sincere and motivating teachers who are responsible for implementing the prescribed curriculum. They are committed to educate the students in most effective manner possible and facilitate and overall positive madrasah experience for the students. They use teaching strategies like holding periodic quizzes or test, home work assignments, projects and class discussions.

Our comprehensive and relevant curriculum is divided into three sections Quran, Akhlaq and Fiqh. We also have wonderful activities and events through out the year.
Admissions are open for children from ages 4 to 16 years. Along with that adult classes are also conducted on regular basis.
