OUR STUDENTS

Aflah Academy is dynamic, enriching, and deeply rooted in academic excellence, spiritual growth, and community connection. At the heart of Aflah’s approach is the commitment to nurturing the whole child-intellectually, emotionally, socially, and spiritually within a safe, inclusive, and values-driven environment.

A Culture of Belonging and Faith

Students at Aflah Academy thrive in a school community that integrates faith and learning. Daily Islamic, Qur’anic, and Arabic instruction helps students connect deeply with their Muslim identity, promoting respect, moral character, and spiritual development. Special observances such as Ramadan programming, One Ummah Day, and Islamic Awareness Week foster unity and pride in Islamic values and traditions.

Enriched Learning and Leadership

Beyond a rigorous academic program aligned with Alberta curriculum standards, students are actively engaged in hands-on learning, inquiry, and collaborative projects. Leadership is cultivated through student council roles, event committees, and opportunities to lead daily Salah. Monthly school assemblies, cultural events, and community service initiatives offer students platforms to develop their voices, strengthen their values, and celebrate diversity.

Inclusive and Vibrant Co-Curricular Life

Aflah Academy offers a variety of clubs and extracurricular activities that allow students to explore their interests and talents. These include:

Clubs: Qur’an Club, Chess Club, Drawing Club, Debate & Public Speaking, Arabic Reading, Environmental Club, and more.
Sports & Fitness: Active recess programs, soccer, track, wellness days, and intra-school tournaments promote physical well-being.
Events & Celebrations: Students participate in school-wide events such as Spelling Bees, Science Fairs, Eid celebrations, and interfaith outreach.

These activities are designed to build confidence, encourage creativity, and foster collaboration among students from diverse backgrounds.

A Strong School-Home Connection

The vibrant student experience is supported by strong family and community engagement. Events like Meet the Teacher Night, Iftar gatherings, and visits from civic leaders reflect the school’s commitment to collaboration and mutual respect between staff, students, and families. Platforms such as Class Dojo and Google Classroom ensure consistent communication and transparency.

Safe, Supportive, and Inclusive

Aflah Academy places a strong emphasis on creating a nurturing environment where every student feels seen, heard, and valued. Students from varied academic and cultural backgrounds, especially English Language Learners and those with interrupted schooling, receive personalized support to help them succeed and feel at home in the school community.
