JK/SK–Grade 8Ontario CurriculumQuran & Islamic StudiesProgress TrackingSafe Campus

Confident in faith. At home in Canada.

Developing the Next Generation of Model Muslim Canadians.

We teach children that kindness, fairness, respect, service, loving others, and sharing are both Islamic teachings and Canadian values. Students build the academic and social confidence to thrive at BQA or transition smoothly to another Ontario school if their family’s needs change.

Our Quran Standard

Quality before speed. No shortcuts in Tajweed.

Every student begins with a careful assessment of Qaida, Quran recitation, and Tajweed. We then guide each student at the right pace, progressing from Qaida to Juz ‘Amma and the rest of the Quran when their BQA Quran teacher determines that they are ready.

A balanced education for the whole child

Why families choose BQA

Children should not have to choose between academic growth and a strong Islamic identity. At BQA, both belong in one purposeful school day.

01

Faith throughout the day

Quran, salah, Islamic studies, manners, and character are woven naturally into school life.

02

Small classes. Real attention.

Small-group teaching and one-on-one guidance help every child progress with confidence.

03

Progress that is measured

Regular quizzes, tests, mid-terms, and final examinations help teachers follow each student’s progress closely.

04

Strong academic foundations

Ontario curriculum learning supported by Nelson Mathematics, IXL interactive practice, and other trusted academic resources.
