Evening Qur’an School (On-Site)

School Setup

Alhamdulillah, ilmHub is pleased to offer a unique and specialized Qur’an Learning Service.

ilmHub Qur’an School has been established to address the core need of our time, which is the introduction of our children to the Qur'an.

Through many years of experience, we have developed a custom tailored process that addresses individuals at their level instead of lumping students together in one group class. Every student is important, so we have designed a method that allows the student to exert individually towards their learning while their progress is monitored and reviewed by a qualified teacher.

In light of this inshaaAllah, you will find that despite our unique approach to Qur'an teaching, our setup maintains the high quality of learning associated with traditional learning methods. You will find that our system improves upon the traditional learning methods to enhance the one-on-one connection between the teacher and the student.

Every student follows a self-paced structure, whereby he/she does not feel that they are competing directly with their classmates. At the same time, other students do not hold him/her back should they have room for growth.

Our Syllabus [applies to both On-Site and On-Line Qur’an Schools]

We employ the syllabus of al-Qa’ida al-Nuraaniya which is used in all traditional institutes in the Arab world as well as its author and compiler’s native Indopak origins.

Our Education System

ilmHub Qur’an Schools use the Qur’an Learning Portal from QSI (www.qsi1.com). The system was developed by Sh. Mahmood Khan Saheb over decades.

This system allows us to monitor, assign, review as well as mark every students individual progress down to every word or an ayah of the Qur’an.

The system also helps provide homework assignment on a regular basis. Our students always have some work assigned to them. The tools for excelling are made available, and the progress is only limited by the student’s own zeal and desire!

Our Islamic Studies Curriculum

After due consideration we will be providing a Islamic Studies curriculum to the students as a part of their Daily Education Plan.

The batch timing will be 1 hours 30 min. In this duration the student will give 50 min towards Qur'an, and 40 minutes towards his daily Islamic Studies Session.

For our Islamic Studies we will be covering careful selection of topics from An-Naseehah Curriculum. These will be taught over the course of an academic year.

Physical Location for Classes

Age Requirements

All students of age 9 will be assessed for their maturity and focus during the first two weeks.

Scholarship Conditions

Conditions to abide by to retain a position in the program:

• Attendance has to be maintained 80% or above every month [if the attendance falls short over three months, we may excuse the student.
• Academic Standard has to remain satisfactory according to the teachers.
• The times are specific, and there is no accommodation of alternate days or times.

Our Policies

We believe in fair and upright servitude towards our goal in pleasing Allah Ta’ala. For this reason ilmHub Qur’an Schools have detailed policies charted out.

We expect the parents to be informed about these policies at the time of registration.

Registration and School Fees Policy

Objective: To establish a baseline understanding between ilmHub and students' parents regarding all registrations and school fees.

Policy:
1) If a family registers, and does not show up, their account will be set to irregular flag after 2 days of non-communication.

• If such family wishes to register again, they must pay an additional $20 Reinstatement or re-Registration fee. This is to cover for clerical administrative costs that goes towards service being provided.

2) Should any family remain absent for two weeks [14 days] without actually applying for vacation, the system will automatically set them to irregular flag, mandating the $20 Reinstatement or re-Registration fee.

• However, if due request for vacation is sought via WhatsApp from Admin/Teacher or through email (info@ilmhub.com).

3) Families who inform and apply for vacation of a month or more should keep in mind that their On-Line or On-Site Slots shall be considered forgone. Once they return, we will re-assess if there is free space in that particular time-slot. If not, then they will have to choose a different time-slot. In such case, since they applied for vacation, we shall have no additional fee as well.

4) Please note that fee payment is for securing Teacher's time as well as covering overhead expenses for keeping the facility running, and not for teaching lessons themselves. We cannot stipulate a value to actual Qur'an teaching. It is beyond valuable. Hence, the full fee is due even through the months wherein students did not show up, or classes had to be cancelled due to federal or provincial restrictions. Any exceptions to this rule will be clearly communicated to the parents if and when they occur.

5) All school fees are due within the first week of each month.

6) Only payment through the registered QSI parent account is acceptable as this allows ilmHub to spend less time tracking down payments and matching them with parents manually.

7) Any disputes relating to fees may be submitted in writing to info@ilmhub.com within 1 week of the dispute occurring.
