Islamic Summer School 2012

The goal of the Full Time Islamic Summer School 2012 project is to offer school age children the opportunity to use part of the summer vacation in personal development and beneficial activities.  These activities aim at a promoting a strong sense of Islamic identity, teaching proper behavior, enrichment of religious knowledge, exposure to Islamic heritage, and development of interpersonal communication among students.  These goals shall help counter activities deemed by most parents as non-beneficial, if not harmful, such as spending countless hours watching TV, playing video-games (some of which are of violent content), and the potential exposure to non-healthy environment.

The positive experience of Islamic Summer Schools 2002 through 2011 is the foundation for this summer.  It is nevertheless critical that the whole community join hands to help this project thrive to maintain it as a regular program in the future.  This can be in registering children, sponsoring a child or a teacher, volunteering, and by other means.
