Assalamu Alaikum.
Dear Community Members,
Thank you for reading our monthly community updates. We are grateful to have you with us on this journey.
As we prepare to begin construction on the ARK Academy building in the coming months, insh’Allah—transforming it from the current office space into a vibrant learning environment designed for young learners—we are excited to share the latest developments.
We have launched an Amazon Wishlist to help us build the ARK Academy Library! Your book donations will directly support the development of our curriculum and inspire a new generation of learners. Every contribution brings us closer to creating a vibrant, knowledge-rich environment for our students.
Monthly Youth Quran Discussion
In last month’s Youth Quran Discussion, Seyed Mahdi Qazwini led an in-depth discussion on the first seven verses of Surah Al-Jinn. The group discussed topics such as ways to repel evil, dreams and nightmares, mortality of jinn, and more.
We invite all youth to join us for the next Qur’an Discussion on Saturday, May 24th at 8 PM at ARK Academy.
Weekend School
It is graduation-time for our weekend school students! A special ceremony was held for Saturday School on May 17th and Sunday School will celebrate in the park on the 25th.
As we wrap up another year of the long-standing weekend program—and mark a smooth transition to ARK Academy—we recognize our incredible teachers, under the devoted leadership of Dr. Mehdi Taghiei and Hajj Ahmad Khalife.
Classes resume in September, with registration opening in July.
ARK Academy Curriculum Blog
Our Islamic Studies Curriculum Designer launched a regular blog series, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the development of our unique, integrated learning experience. This series will explore not only the curriculum itself but also the thinking and principles guiding its design.
We invite you to read the first post in the ARK Academy Curriculum Blog. Your thoughts and feedback are valuable to us as we shape this journey together!
As we share these updates, we also want to extend our heartfelt blessings to all who will be undertaking the sacred journey of Hajj this season. We kindly ask you and everyone in our community to continue praying for the success of this important project. Your support and prayers mean the world to us as we build a bright future for our students.
Warm regards,
ARK Academy Board of Directors
