Quran Memorization
-
Hifz program helps students correctly recite, understand and memorize the Holy Quran within two(2) - three (3) years.
-
It is practically impossible to guarantee that he/she will complete the Quran at a specific time. Some students may take less than one year to memorize the Quran, while others may take up to three or four years. Our goal is to help the students memorize the Quran in a way that they may never forget.
-
Remember that becoming a Hafiz takes hard work and dedication from both the student and the parents.
-
Your child will go through an evaluation process and spend an assessment term of 30 - 90 days before final enrollment.
-
Students will continue attending public school during the evaluation process and only move to a homeschooling program if they become eligible for full-time Hifz; So students’ academic education will not be affected.
-
We will provide eligible students with a personalized tentative memorization plan that gives you an idea about how much progress your child is expected to achieve through the year.
