A balanced education rooted in faith and academic excellence
Our Approach
Integration, Not Separation
SLIC offers a dual curriculum — a robust Islamic Studies program alongside a full New Jersey Department of Education–aligned academic curriculum. Students graduate prepared for college, career, and advanced Islamic learning.
Part One
Islamic Education Curriculum
📖 Qur’an
Systematic progression from Arabic language to full recitation, Tajweed (rules of recitation), and Tafsir (Qur’anic interpretation).
🌿 Aqeedah
Foundations of belief — correct understanding of Tawheed (the Oneness of Allah) and the fundamentals of Islamic creed.
🌙 Tasawwuf
Spiritual discipline, manners, and humility — developing the inner character that is the foundation of a Muslim’s life.
⚖️ Fiqh
Islamic jurisprudence covering Salah, Fasting, Zakat, and the rulings that guide everyday Muslim life.
📜 Seerah & Islamic History
The Life of the Prophet ﷺ and the history of Islam — inspiring students through the stories of those who came before.
🔡 Arabic Language
Building Arabic language skills from the ground up — essential for understanding the Qur’an, Islamic texts, and classical scholarship.
Part Two
