Structure
Daily Supervision and Support:
Students will come together at our facility daily, where they will be supervised by a dedicated Youth Coordinator. The coordinator is responsible for ensuring that students remain focused on their online coursework, providing guidance, and assisting with any challenges that may arise during the day.
Online School Enrollment:
Students must be enrolled with a recognized online school of their choice. While the online school provides the core curriculum, Al Andalus Institute supplements this with additional classes in Arabic, Quran, and Islamic Studies.
Supplementary Islamic Education:
Alongside their online coursework, students will receive daily instruction in Arabic, Quran, and Islamic Studies. These classes are designed to enhance their understanding of the Arabic language, deepen their connection to the Quran, and solidify their knowledge of Islamic principles and history.
