Program Overview

At Darul Arqam, we believe that a child’s early years are the foundation for lifelong learning and character. Our Islamic School (Kindergarten to 5th Grade) program blends strong academics with Islamic teachings, helping students grow in knowledge, faith, and values.

The program is designed to provide a comprehensive education where children excel in core academic subjects while also developing a deep connection to the Quran and Sunnah. We emphasize spiritual, social, and intellectual growth so that students can succeed both in this world and the Hereafter.
