IBA Boarding / Internat First Weeks!

Assalaamou Alaikoum Parents and Guardians,

Alhumdullilah, in less than 48 hours inshaAllah, the IBA Boarding School (Mermoz Meadows) will open its doors.

With the help of Allah (swt) and for His sake alone, we aim to be one of the leading college preparatory Islamic schools on the continent.  

With the right levels of support and guidance from staff, along with the positive relationships that our boys build with their peers, we pray that IQRABA Boarders will develop a strong sense of belonging. With belonging comes a sense of self and good self-esteem. It is only once we have this balance that a young man will fulfill his potential.

Academically our boarders are not only supported by their Housemasters but evening study is supervised by a range of qualified teachers across a number of teaching areas. This means that all boys have the means to access the specific assistance that they need in order to achieve at their best.

Our aim is to provide a high level of care in order for boys to be safe and happy in this environment.

The first weeks in the Boarding School the boys will be focusing on various aspects of the deen (Qur'an Recitation, Arabic Reading and Understanding, Hadith, Aqeedah, Seerah Nabawi, Akhlaq wa adab, etc.). 

Pray for us daily as we begin this journey to shape your boys into successful young men that will have the knowledge and heart to serve Allah through their words, studies, and everyday acts.

Below you will follow the Boarding Schedule for the first weeks of September.  Please check this Blog often for updates and pics as the year goes on inshaAllah. 

Wa salaam,
