Definition

  • This entry focuses on full-time Islamic schools in the United States, defined as private schools that exist to provide Muslim families with the option of education based on an Islamic worldview and including religious, cultural, and often language instruction based upon one of several Islamic traditions. Not discussed here are those Muslim families engaged in homeschooling, or the many part-time programs, often sponsored by mosques, that also offer religious, cultural, and Arabic-language instruction.
