Akram Jomaa Islamic School

K-12 Islamic Education | The Whole Child, The Whole Way

The Whole Child, The Whole Way

Building Strong Foundations Since 1992

Akram Jomaa Islamic School is a K-12 institution serving over 1,000 students with more than 70 dedicated staff members. We provide a welcoming and caring learning environment inspired by the rich ethos of Islam, aimed at cultivating spiritually mature, strong Canadian Muslims.

In partnership with Prairie Rose Public Schools (formalized June 2025), we continue as a crucial alternative education program within the public school system, significantly enhancing educational opportunities while honoring our religious beliefs, values, and diverse cultures.

Our Three Core Priorities

Aligned with Prairie Rose Public Schools' goals to ignite minds, forge futures, and kindle hearts

Literacy

Students demonstrate literacy competencies to participate fully and successfully in living, learning, and work. We implement the science of reading, disciplinary literacy, and effective writing strategies.

Numeracy

Students demonstrate the ability, confidence, and willingness to engage with quantitative or spatial information to make informed decisions in all aspects of daily living.

Wellness

Students demonstrate knowledge, skills, and experiences to improve health and well-being across five domains: Spiritual, Intellectual, Physical, Social, and Emotional.

People of Ihsan: Spiritual Excellence

At Akram Jomaa, we endeavor to be people of Ihsan (Spiritual Excellence) by embodying seven core values: Sincerity, Trustworthiness, Compassion, Courage, Patience, Gratitude, and Humility.

We believe that acquiring knowledge is a foundational attribute of the human being and that every student has the capacity to learn and grow. Our teachers follow in the footsteps of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), cognizant of their professional role, religious responsibility, and spiritual significance.

We serve a remarkably diverse community of learners from various African, Middle Eastern, and South Asian countries, unified by their high motivation to succeed in academic and religious pursuits.
