ABOUT THE SCHOOL
More than
a Sunday school.
The Islamic School of Potomac teaches children ages 5 through 18, September through May. Arabic, Deen, and what the school calls "...and in between."
What holds those three together is the understanding that a child does not learn a way of living for two hours on a Sunday and then set it down. What the school teaches has to be carried home, and the person who carries it is a parent.
The Islamic School of Potomac was founded with a commitment to uplift every member of the family, not just the students registered in our school.
WHO IS HERE
We are a community.
The families who send their children here also teach the classes, set out the chairs, and run the Showcase. New families are welcome to help as much or as little as they like.
One morning a week, for thirty-three weeks.
THE MORNING
Arabic and Deen.
Arabic classes are grouped by a placement test, so a child sits with others reading at the same level. Deen classes are grouped by age, so a child sits with others asking the same questions.
SALAT AL-DHUHR
The morning ends.
Class runs until the midday prayer. Then everyone goes home to the rest of their Sunday, with something to do together during the week.
HOW IT RUNS
Parent feedback and volunteering is encouraged.
If you have an hour, a skill, or a strong opinion about how something should be run, the school would rather hear it than not.
Come and see a Sunday.
