Assalaamu ‘Alaikum,
We would like to welcome all the students and the parents. Our goal is to provide Islamic Education for young Muslims ages 4 and up and to build Muslim identity. We focus on three main subjects: Quran, Arabic and Islamic Studies. Our class is held weekly on Sundays from 10:30 am to 2:00 pm. 
We hope you all will have an exciting and educational school year. Here is some information you will find useful for you and your student.
We will meet for 35 weeks this school year. Siraj Weekend School is designed to help students ages 4 and up to learn the basic knowledge that will help them practice Islam in their daily lives. Parents are asked to facilitate their students’ practice of Islamic behavior. This includes being a partner with your child’s Islamic education (such as reviewing homework) and through practice. One of the major practices is praying the Dhuhr prayer at the conclusion of school on
Sundays (and another prayer during the week) with your students in the congregation.

Siraj Weekend School Mission Statement
It is the mission of Siraj Weekend School to provide Islamic education to young American Muslims.
At SIRAJ Weekend school, we believe that engaging pupils in the learning process is most effective; our approach is to incorporate student-centered activities that meet the various learning styles. Bringing our pupils’ Islamic identity to the forefront is an essential objective we strive to firmly maintain throughout their educational experience.
OUR VISION
The SIRAJ Weekend School aims to develop, for its students, self-assurance as American Muslims with a commitment to honoring family, community involvement, and respecting others.
The Weekend School strives to instill ethical values in the students towards becoming productive, better decision makers, make better choices within Islamic guidelines and responsible members of our society.
This vision is in accord with the overall vision of NAC, with focus on Islamic teachings for the children and youth of the community.
We hope to achieve this by:
- building an American Muslim identity,
- providing a strong foundation in Islamic beliefs, practices, history, and traditions
- inculcating a desire to gain knowledge of Islam via the teachings of the Qur’an and the Sunnah.
