School Notes
Islamic education is a major part of CVA`s life. This is
manifested in the academic classes taught, the school calendar,
character education program and extra-curricular
activities.
The Islamic Education classes comprise about 40% of weekly
instructional time for all students. Islamic education is divided
into three components: Quran reading and memorization, Islamic
studies and Arabic language. Quran memorization and tajweed
recitation is emphasized. Islamic Studies curriculum consists of
three major parts: beliefs and rituals of Muslims, Islamic History,
and morals and manners. The Arabic language is taught in all grades
using texts designed for foreign language acquisition. Students in
grades 2-98 are divided into two or three levels according to their
linguistic background and readiness level.
In support of Islamic studies curriculum, the school calendar
is designed to incorporate major holidays celebrated in the United
States as well as major Islamic events. Students in Grades
3rd to Eight attend a Friday congregational prayer in the adjacent
Musala. Students visit the Musala on a daily basis, to offer the
mid-afternoon group prayer. Teachers and administrators attend the
prayer with the students and instruct them on proper manners of
being in the mosque and observing group prayer. All the above
activities help the students to learn Islamic teachings and
practice them in real life situations.Tarbiyah or Character
education is infused with Islamic studies lessons and school-wide
event planning.
Tarbiyah objectives include helping students connect beliefs
with practice, providing opportunities for experiential learning,
introducing topics in age-specific ways, and recognizing social
emotional needs of Muslim american children.
School assemblies give students the opportunity to perform
Islamic songs and skits in front of their peers and helps build a
strong Muslim identity. In addition, Eid Celebrations (for the two
major Islamic holidays) are designed to celebrate Muslim holidays
and reinforce the students` sense of Muslim identity.
