Madrasatu AlFaseelah

Madrasatu AlFaseelah — A Homegrown Non-Charter, Non-Profit School


Madrasatu AlFaseelah began as a mother’s promise to her children: to build a learning space that nurtures mind, heart, and faith—without compromising identity. I’m Ms. Lamia, and my journey to founding this school started in my own classroom years ago, continued through homeschooling, and matured as I watched what truly helps children flourish: a calm rhythm, rich language, hands-on discovery, and daily reminders of Who we live for. When I couldn’t find a setting that combined academic excellence with Islamic character and real-world skills, I created one—first for my kids, then for families who shared the same vision.

Today, AlFaseelah operates as a non-charter, non-profit school built on three pillars: Strong Foundations, Living Islam, and Learning Outside the Box. Our days weave together Qur’an and Arabic, English literacy and numeracy, nature-based inquiry, artful projects, and service to the community. As of now, our class size is small, honoring the whole child, and following a steady routine that balances structure with joy. Every lesson is meaningful, personal, and full of wonder. Alhamdulillah.

This past summer, we hosted our first Girls’ Summer Camp—a sweet milestone that brought sisterhood, skill-building, and outdoor exploration to life. From cooking and crafts to character circles and nature walks, our girls practiced leadership and teamwork in a setting that felt safe, warm, and authentically Muslim.

What’s next (in shā’ Allāh)

Many more initiatives are already in the works—curriculum guides, bilingual resources, and collaborations that uplift our families and wider community, bi’idhnillāh. If you share this vision, you’re part of AlFaseelah’s story too. JMay Allah place barakah in this work and help our children grow as confident, curious, and compassionate believers.
