Passionate – Dedicated – Professional
Our Curriculum
Our curriculum is underpinned by Islamic values, ensuring that our Islamiyah time allocation remains uncompromised. Our programme, affiliated with the Jamiat board, is supported by a dedicated team of qualified Moulanas and Aalimahs, who provide our learners with a strong Islamic foundation through Quran recitation, salaah, and other observances.
Our curriculum aligns with the Department of Education’s CAPS Policy, culminating in the National Senior Certificate Examination in Grade 12. Successful candidates are awarded a school-leaving certificate. QIA is accredited by several reputable bodies including ISASA, UMALUSI, and AMS.
Each classroom is equipped with an interactive smartboard, creating a stimulating environment that caters to various learning styles.
Research assignments and tasks are integrated into most subjects, and day excursions enhance subject understanding and knowledge. Learners also participate in various academic and sporting inter-school competitions, promoting healthy competition and fostering optimism, confidence, and resilience.
The Dean of Academics and the Head of the Islamic Studies department manage the academic programme. At QIA, we strive for academic excellence through innovative educational programs and effective teaching methods, aiming to build student character based on Islamic values and principles.
Early Childhood Development (Grades 000 – R)
At this age our little learners are curious and eager to learn. We believe in nurturing young minds and fostering a love for learning by exploring their curiosity through positive engagement and play. At QIA we aim to create a supportive and stimulating environment that encourages each child’s unique abilities and talents to flourish.
We strive to create a nurturing and inclusive community for your child, building a strong foundation in their readiness skills needed for their formative years. From our carefully crafted curriculum, that incorporates weekly themes and activities, to our interactive learning approaches that promotes gross and fine motor skills, we are dedicated to ensuring that your child receives the best possible start to their educational voyage.
Foundation Phase (Grades 1-3)
Each day starts with a morning assembly that is made up of zikr and a short tarbiyaat. At this crucial phase in a child’s learning life, we engage with learners positively instilling the love for Quran as we introduce them to the beauty of its recitation.
Our experienced educators work hard to equip each of our learners with foundation skills in Literacy, Numeracy and Life Orientation. Great effort is also placed on growing the learners cognitive, emotional, social and physical skills necessary for a happy and confident individual thus also equipping them with the skills required for future academic rigour.
Inter/Sen Phase (Grades 4 – 9)
Grounded in Islamic tradition and our commitment to seeking knowledge, we passionately engage with our intermediate and senior phase learners. The day begins with an uplifting morning assembly that includes zikr, setting a positive tone for the day ahead. Our qualified educators integrate both Islamic studies and the CAPS curriculum using diverse resources and technology. We explore contemporary topics through discussions and guest speaker sessions from an early age, aiming to instill in our learners a lifelong love for learning.
FET Phase (Grades 10 -12)
Our FET Phase continues in QIA’s traditions. The dedicated FET educators ensure that together with strong parental support and academic program, learners are adequately prepared for their final matric examination. We understand the importance of rightly guiding our learners towards their future and have partnered with organisations that aim to provide lifelong support on this journey. Our program provides learners with the correct set of tools that will assist them in understanding themselves and their personality strengths thus guiding them towards a successful career path together with access to a large number of job shadowing opportunities our learners will leave QIA prepared to tackle what the future holds for them with confidence and Imaan.
