The short answer
The term “online Islamic school” means two different things. Some are full-time schools that replace normal school. Most, including ours, are after-school classes: Quran and Islamic studies alongside your child’s regular school. Know which one you need before you compare.
Two kinds
| Full-time online school | After-school Islamic classes | |
|---|---|---|
| Replaces normal school? | Yes | No, it runs alongside it |
| Subjects | Maths, English, science plus Islamic studies | Quran, Tajweed, Hifz, Islamic studies, Arabic |
| Hours | A full school day | Short classes, a few times a week |
| Accreditation | Matters a lot | Not needed |
What Online Quran Learnings is
We are an after-school academy. Children keep their normal school and take one-to-one Quran and Islamic studies classes at a time that suits the family. We do not teach school subjects or exam courses.
Quick questions
Is an online Islamic school accredited?
Full-time ones may need to be. After-school Quran and Islamic classes do not. See our guide on accreditation.
