As one of the best British schools in Sharjah, ISCS Muwaileh is always seeking to set the highest standards in education by staying up-to-date with the latest teaching strategies and technology. However, the school believes that, along with the latest technology, students benefit from learning traditional values and ethics that will guide them in every aspect of their educational and personal lives. When students develop these beliefs at an early age, they are more likely to be morally responsible people long after they leave the school and move into their professional lives. These values are instilled in them through the study of the Quran, which is an important part of their education at ISCS Muwaileh.

The school understands that high academic performance has to go hand-in-hand with Islamic learning. Our students can make big-picture connections between topics they learn in class and the real-life Islamic values that apply to them. The study of the Holy Quran and the values it imparts are beneficial to children, not only as a subject, but also as a source of moral guidance. Students of all ages can learn valuable lessons from the stories of the prophets of Allah (SWT) and their companions. Older students can find comfort and understanding in the many du’as to be found within the Holy Quran. It is important that the Holy Quran is not taught just as something to be studied, but also as something to be returned to again and again in life – inside and outside of school.

Besides the goal of instiling Islamic and cultural values in children, the Holy Quran also increases students’ academic performance. The benefits of hifz on the memory have been recorded before, but recitation itself can also be beneficial. Familiarisation with the Holy Quran is also very useful to students when it comes to learning the Arabic language. ISCS Muwaileh is aiming to be among the best British schools in Sharjah, and we have one thing that sets us apart from the others. What makes us different is the emphasis on modern, state-of-the-art teaching methodologies with the added benefits of an Arabic and Islamic education. Both of these things are connected; they complement each other. Our graduates leave school strongly imbued with the values and principles of Islam, having been high achievers throughout their time with us and planning to stay that way for a long time to come.
