Salam to all my brothers and sisters

I was hoping to send my son to a Sunni boarding school in a few years but having looked around we don't seem to have many. Jamia Al-Karam and Hijaz College are the only 2 i have found. I was hoping you guys could help with your comments.

JazakAllah

My lovely brothers and sweet sisters.

I have a large wealth of xperience of orking with an teaching in and studying sunni madrassasa and schools.

I have had very bad experiences with sunni schools.

To be honest they wre rude and very unwelcoming.

e.g. 12th November 2009 i ltook the day off work and left for a articular islamic school a 8am. I traveled for 3 hours to get there and he person i was supposed to enrol my nephew was not there and was told that he had t leavefr a conference somewhere.

I and my sister and my nephew were not even offered glass of water so much for guests being welcomed.

After having wasted my time nd time of my family we were rold that my nephew woldnt be accepted as he was a special needs student and they could not cater fohim.

i personally have no time fo such so called schools and now i find it difficult to relate to them as they are proucing youth that are less likelyto integrate with wider society they produce brainwashed zombies who are only affiliatd to the school and uits teachers and spiritual ancestrt whilst blind sighting everything else.

Wa alaikumsalam,

I dont think all schools are the same but from what I have seen I personally think if you want your child to learn about Islam in an Islamic environment the best thing to do is send him abroad to study. Maybe Al Azhar or somewhere like that. I know it may cost a lot more but if you are serious about it money shouldnt have an influence in your decision.

I have seen people who go to Islamic schools in the UK and there may be some sort of influence from peers on rebelling against what they are being taught due to the hypocrisy in teachers and all the wrong they see as they grow up. If children are in the UK and they have this environment where they can easily divert their attention away from Islam onto haram they will want to experiment this other side if they so wish, because its so easy for them.

I hope this helps.

If you have the money send your son or daughter to one of the grand British public schools like Eton or Harrow or Rugby etc...
at least they'll get the best education money can buy and will be able to fit in to this society.

And teach them the basics about Islam and Sunni aqidah yourself; lead by example (for example, don't ask them to pray if you don't
yourself etc.) Then when the child has finished school he or she can choose to go to al-Azhar or anywhere else for example India, Pakistan,
Yemen etc. or even do a degree in Islamic Studies etc. etc.

I cannot think of a single private Islamic School which is actually a good school as well; I may be wrong and would be
happy to be proved wrong with a list of islamic schools and their results tables and inspector's reports...

I can speak with some authority on what makes a good school as I am a teacher in a private school.

I agree with Dr AQ here I think.

If you are adamant that your child go to an islamic school it might be better to enrol him or her somewhere overseas in a top private school--not necessarily 'Islamic' -- in a Muslim country. That way, they'll get a top-notch education and also have the benefit of growing up in a Muslim country which definitely has an effect. I can think of two schools immediately--Aitchison College, Lahore and Robert College in Istanbul...

You talking a big money if sending abroad and not easy for most of us but I think better send in the country and then you can go and see them often and they not go home sick . Jamia alkaram is one of the good schools . I visited that and the director is very nice and the school result is better than other schools.

The best time to teach a child is when he or she is at a very young age. If your child acquires the best Islamic morals and manners before the age of 16 then it will be extremely difficult for anyone or anything to rattle their beliefs and values. I cannot stress the importance of knowledge enough. Make sure you give your children the best of both worlds: Islamic morals and manners as well as good and suitable secular education, although all knowledge that will benefit us is, in essence, Islamic knowledge

I believe Hijaz College is sadly closed, unless I'm mistaken. Jamia al Karam has been doing extremely well in their GCSE results and has topped the county league tables numerous times, sometimes consecutivel and often a attaining a 100% pass rate.
