QAIS

Quran, Arabic, Islamic Studies

Our QAIS (Quran, Arabic, Islamic Studies) department at Miftaahul Uloom Academy ensures that Quran, Arabic, and Islamic Studies are integrated into our academic curriculum and enhance our students’ understanding of each subject individually.  Quran and Arabic classes are divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels.

All QAIS courses at Miftaahul Uloom Academy meet the standards set by CISNA (Council of Islamic Schools in North America), foster Islamic identity, and prepare our students for integration into a religiously and ethnically diverse society.

Miftaahul Uloom Academy partners with Mishkah University to offer a Dual Enrollment Program.
