From the North Road Academy
In addition to a quality education, it is our duty as parents to ensure that our kids are aware of the fundamental values and tenets of Islam, which is a wonderful way of life. We all aspire to please Allah, and we implore Him alone to grant our children the same aspiration. Each of you is a shepherd who is in charge of his sheep, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) likewise remarked. Al-Bukharee (2554), Muslim (1829), and Ahmad in al Musnad reported this (4495). We therefore encourage you to read our Prospectus, and insha'Allah, we look forward to hearing from you if you need any additional information or assistance.
