My children attending this school since 2nd grade. Now my daughter is in high school and my son is in middle school. The school has many improvements and development. The project continued for extending in size due to new families are in waiting to enroll. The Islamic values taught to kids, as well as discipline and manners throughout the regular academic syllabus, are maintained. All teachers and schools staff are very helpful.
