CURRICULUM
At Al-Furqan Islamic International School, we offer a comprehensive and balanced curriculum that integrates academic excellence with Islamic development. Our programme spans from Nursery to IGCSE (Year 11), nurturing students intellectually, morally, and Islamically.
*Cambridge Curriculum* (Nursery to Year 11) We follow the internationally acclaimed Cambridge curriculum, providing a solid foundation in English, Mathematics, Science, ICT, and Humanities. Our students are prepared for Cambridge Checkpoint exams in Year 6 and Year 9, culminating in IGCSE examinations in Year 11. The curriculum promotes inquiry-based learning, critical thinking, and global readiness, equipping students with the skills needed for higher education and future success.
Islamic Curriculum
Our Islamic studies programme is designed to instill strong faith, character, and understanding of core Islamic principles. From early years through secondary, students study:
- Aqidah (Islamic creed)
- Fiqh (jurisprudence)
- Seerah (life of the Prophet ﷺ)
- Hadith (Prophetic traditions)
- Adab and Akhlaq (manners and character)
- Tafsir (Qur'anic interpretation)
Lessons are delivered in an age-appropriate and engaging manner, fostering love for Islam and practical application in daily life.
Arabic Language Curriculum
Our Arabic curriculum is tailored for non-native speakers, using the Medina Arabic Series as its foundation. Formal instruction begins in Year 1 and continues through Year 11, focusing on reading, writing, grammar, and conversational fluency. The programme supports both Islamic studies and Qur'anic comprehension, helping students connect deeply with the Arabic language.
Qur'anic Curriculum
Qur'anic education begins in Nursery with the Arabic alphabet, followed by Qaidah Nooraniyah in Reception and Year 1 to establish correct pronunciation and tajweed. From Year 2 onward, students begin structured Qur'an memorisation, progressing steadily each year. By Year 9, students are expected to complete full memorisation of the Qur'an (Hifz), with continued revision and tajweed refinement through Year 11. This journey nurtures Islamic discipline and a lifelong connection to the Qur'an

‘Whoever takes a path upon which he seeks knowledge, then Allah makes the path to Paradise easy for him. And indeed, the angels lower their wings in approval to the one seeking knowledge. Indeed, forgiveness is sought for the knowledgeable one by whomever is in the heavens and whomever is in the earth, even the fish in the waters. And superiority of the scholar over the worshiper is like the superiority of the moon over the rest of the celestial bodies. Indeed, the scholars are the heirs of the Prophets, and the Prophets do not leave behind Dinar or Dirham. The only legacy of the scholars is knowledge, so whoever takes from it, then he has indeed taken the most able share.’

At Furqan Islamic International School, we strive to:
• enable every child to reach their full potential by developing children who love the challenge of learning and who are resilient to failure;
• provide a conducive learning environment which provides opportunity for all, where children feel loved, happy, safe and secure;
• provide a broad and balanced education for our learners, so they can be successful in their Checkpoints, IGCSEs, A Levels and University admissions;
• offer our students the best of conventional and Islamic education so that their options would not only be limited when it comes to choosing a career field later on in life; and
• increase pupils’ knowledge, skills and understanding as they grow and strengthen their spiritual development.
