About Manara Academy

We believe in guiding minds, inspiring hearts, and holistic growth, by fostering an environment where students thrive academically while developing a strong sense of self and community. Our dedicated educators use engaging, hands-on learning experiences that encourage exploration and discovery, all within the framework of Islamic values.

Waldorf Inspired Education

Waldorf education is a holistic approach that integrates intellectual, artistic, and practical learning to foster comprehensive development. The curriculum aligns with children's developmental stages, emphasizing creativity and imagination through activities like art, music, and storytelling. A distinctive feature is that teachers often remain with the same class for multiple years, providing consistency in the learning environment. Additionally, Waldorf schools typically limit early exposure to technology, promoting hands-on learning and direct human interaction.

Bilingualism

With a focus on bilingualism (English/Arabic), we prepare our students to navigate a multicultural world, promoting respect and understanding among diverse communities. Our goal is to enable students to read and understand the Qur’an and the Hadith of the Prophet (peace be upon him), fostering both linguistic proficiency and spiritual growth.

Islamic Oriented Education

By integrating Islamic values into every aspect of our curriculum, we aim to raise students with a firm foundation in their faith, instilling moral integrity, responsibility, and compassion. Through the teachings of the Quran and Islamic values, we prepare our students to thrive academically and spiritually, fostering leaders who contribute positively to their communities while upholding strong Islamic principles.

PURPOSEFUL TECHNOLOGY

In our approach, we incorporate purposeful technology, utilizing it sparingly and thoughtfully to enhance learning and promote self-exploration. We aim to prepare our students to navigate a digital world while maintaining a balance that prioritizes interpersonal connections and experiential learning.
