A dual curriculum.
Qur’an and academics,
neither one an add-on.
Ihsan Learning Academy teaches Qur’an memorization, Islamic studies and Arabic to seventeen students aged five to fourteen — taught by instructors with documented chains of transmission, on a published schedule, with final examinations and an annual graduation.
Two complete curricula, taught in one school
A protected daily block for Qur’an memorization alongside a standards-aligned academic program. Not a school with a Qur’an class, and not a maktab that also mentions science.

A full-time Islamic day school for the Lowcountry
We are building South Carolina’s first full-time Islamic day school of its kind — elementary grades first, with a protected daily hifz block and a full academic program. Tell us your children’s ages and we will keep you informed as enrollment opens.
Register your interest
No obligation. We will only contact you about the day school.
Help us pay our teachers what they are worth
Tuition covers part of what it costs to run the school. Community giving covers the rest — and it is what will let us hire the science and mathematics teachers the day school needs.
Monthly giving
A steady amount each month is what lets us plan a school year rather than a term.
