What children learn and experience during their early years can shape their personal view of the world and can later affect their success or retardation at school, work, and their personal lives. Our materials are games, music, artwork, films, books, computer educational programmes and other tools to teach basic skills.

All with the aid of specialized high calibers. Play and hands-on teaching are also used by kindergarten teachers, but academic steps begin to take priority in kindergarten classrooms.

Manara It is the source of light, which is the tool of guidance and knowledge. El Eman It is the belief in GOD Almighty which is the peak of the sacred knowledge. , Written in Arabic, the tongue of the Holy Qur an . Knowledge Lessons Taught by GOD The first lesson in humanity was of GOD Almighty to our forefather ADAM, when GOD taught him all the names, hence the sacredness of teaching. Knowledge is a voluminous spring to the second lesson, when prophet Moses proudly thought he knew everything, so GOD led him to one of his best servants with godly knowledge. Moses said to him, “ Could I follow thee and thee teach me of what thee have been taught? ” Moses was taught three important lessons, but most importantly he was taught patience, hence education needs patience. The third lesson was when prophet Solomon was taught the language of the birds which was one of the miracles of teaching. The fourth lesson was the most miraculous. It was when archangel Gabriel asked prophet Mohammad (pbuh) to recite the holy Qur,an in Heraa cave saying “READ”.

Departments About Primary, Preparatory & Secondary Education. The key words here are human development, the continuous change, the tradition of GOD Almighty in creation. We educate the students from Primary till Secondary stage. We deal with our sons and daughters in the vital age, the most critical phase of shaping their characters. It is a heritage which goes along with them all their lives and frequently affects others’ lives.This is how we shape the features of our community and change the future of our nation. To get there and in order to achieve this great job ,we depend on using every possible means to get ourselves well qualified for this sacred task. Many years ago , I realized that this job is not an easy task. To teach and educate humans is not only to drop in their minds certain knowledge or sciences . It’s not the "spoon feeding" job it’s far far beyond this.The sciences of human studies are endless and we are in a continuous process of self development and self enrichment with every new piece of information in the field of education . With us your children will turn into young balanced adults and we promise to watch this process of transformation closely with a compassionate wise eye every hour and every day.The children between our hands are treasured and we take every means to accomplish our mission. With your help, we’ll be able to present them to our community and to their society as effective successful citizens. Hereby comes the crucial need of unity between home and school. To this end, we have an open door policy to meet you whenever needed. We pray to GOD to enable us to perform this job and meet HIM with this work perfectly done and we ask you to pray for us.
