Amanah Academy

Our Story

Amanah Academy is the work of over two decades of study, research and experience in alternative education and meaningful learning from an Islamic perspective in the context of the contemporary setting.

It is an ongoing journey to establish a schooling method where ample opportunities for optimal growth and healthy development replace the limitations and obstacles inherent in the modern schooling system. At Amanah Academy, we seek to create a loving, caring environment that cultivates personal excellence, fosters resilience and perseverance, builds confidence in the deen, instills love in Allah & His Messenger ﷺ, and promotes service to others.

Alhamdulillah, by the grace of God, we are happy to offer a truly special learning experience to our community.

Message from the Founder

Assalamu Alaikum Dear Parents,

Years ago, I set out to find an alternative education method for my children. I wanted a schooling experience that nurtured their love for learning, urged them to realize their full potential, and enabled them to be confident Muslims who love Allah and His Messenger ﷺ. I have always been passionate about education and teaching, but embarking on this journey made me appreciate the immense challenges facing contemporary Muslim schoools. It also inspired me with a greater sense of urgency to fulfill a personal and a communal obligation.

While on this wondrous journey, I have witnessed the great opportunities and precious experiences that can be made available to our children and community within an intentional and well-crafted education system. Alhamdulillah, I have been blessed with insights into how to form a school that can meaningfully support our children, setting them up for success in this world and the next, inshaa Allah.

I am committed to offering every child an exceptional, holistic Islamic education for body, mind and heart. The early childhood and elementary years are foundational years. They are also critical years for developing habits of wellbeing and of lifelong learning.

I invite you to tour our small school with a big heart. Come and see for yourself our special place for the wonders and blessings of childhood. I look forward to welcoming your family.

With sincere gratitude,

Amaal Juma (Constantino)
