At our institution, we offer a comprehensive Hafith Program designed to guide students through the stages of Quranic learning, from foundational skills to complete memorization. Our program is divided into three key levels:
- Nooraniya Course
The Nooraniya Course is our entry-level offering for the Hafith Program. Designed to be completed within 6 months, students will be trained in proper pronunciation of Arabic letters. They will be exposed to Voweled and Non-Voweled variations as well as word formations as they appear in the Quran. Our qualified instructors will administer each available course in two weekly sessions for a period of six months. Completion of this course will qualify students to join our Reading & Tarteel Tutoring.
- Reading & Tarteel Tutoring
The Tarteel Tutoring program is our intermediate level offering for the Hafith Program. It is designed for students who have completed the Nooraniya and are able to read at a basic level. Our one-on-one teaching model is geared toward building reading proficiency and exposing students to basic Tajweed concepts. Available time slots with our instructors will be announced to registrants and will be reserved by parents based on what is most convenient for you and your family. As the students reading proficiency improves light memorization will be layered on at this level.
- Memorization Program
The memorization program is the advanced level offering for the Hafith Program. It is designed to enable our students to complete the memorization of the entire Quran. Registrants will be tested to be placed in their correct level. Our curriculum incorporates individualized memorization schedules. Alongside memorization, all students will follow a Quranic review schedule for recent and old memorization. While we highly encourage full-time registration, which would be four days a week, part-time registration is also available.
Each stage of our Hafith Program is carefully designed to ensure students develop a deep and lasting connection with the Quran.
