MISSION STATEMENT

School's Philosophy and Goals:

MANB Islamic School was founded in the mid-1980s.The School is dedicated to nurturing spiritual growth and developing God consciousness through the teachings of Islam .

We firmly believe that education is a joint responsibility of the home and school, and we plan to develop a close working relationship with the parents and the community – striving to achieve the highest quality education for the children in Sunday school.

The School works autonomously under the Muslim Association of New Brunswick.

If any additional questions should arise, we ask that they promptly be brought to the attention of the Principal, Administrator or the Classroom teacher so that they are resolved immediately. We sincerely hope the parents will take an active interest in our school programs.
