Learning becomes more practical and pleasurable for both the child and the parent. No homework - gives them so much time for their other interests and no exams takes out their fear of learning" Umm Arsh, Montessori parent

"Al Qamar Academy - A home of learning for both deen and duniya. Peaceful, stress less, Islamic atmosphere, activity based methodologies, guest lectures, and the most caring teachers, has transformed my daughter's outlook towards learning and schooling. Before joining Al Qamar Academy, my daughter used to hate exams and the rote memory system. However , the best picked library books which the children are free to handle, has made her inclined towards a reading habit, which I finding it fading among our children nowadays. Alhamdulillah, the meetings, upgrading information on the school activities and workshops conducted for the parents, makes us also involved being a part and parcel of the school. It is a dream come true for her to be a part of this prestigious institution. Mrs. Najeeb
"I have two daughters, one is 8 years old and another is 4 years old. I joined my elder daughter in a normal matriculation school near my house in Kottivakkam. She was very good at studies and she was doing well in LKG. In that school they have a portion and the teacher teaches the portion in a way to show that she has completed teaching whether the children understand or not. The strength of the class was 36 to 40 students which is not the right strength for a teacher to handle. My wife took care of my elder daughter's studies at home. In 1st standard my daughter had increased portions. The teachers couldn’t manage the kids. Whenever after an exam we went to meet the class teacher they all blamed the parents “Why are you not training your kids in the home?” I got really irritated about this. Even though my daughter was studying well I was thinking that the child should be doing other activities, like playing, talking and having some free time. When we had the second baby, we had a tough time looking after the baby as well as teaching my elder kid. My wife couldn’t manage both, taking care of a kid and teaching the elder kid. Every day she was struggling a lot over this education method. It went on two years like this. We lost our happiness because whenever I came from my office, my wife was struggling. I was totally upset with the education method. I was paying the fees and I was not happy.
I searched for some alternative method on the Net. MashaAllah I came to know about Al Qamar Academy, a school with international quality in teaching with Islamic education. As a Muslim I realised the importance of Islamic studies. We decided to put my younger daughter first. We went one day to the school to see how is this education system. They explained the methodology and the ways and the syllabus, what they are going to teach. MashaAllah we put both of our kids in the school. We saw the difference in 3 months itself. My younger daughter was afraid of her class teacher and frightened when she saw her class teacher. She was very scared, literally she cried when she heard her name. This changed in Al Qamar. She can talk to the teacher nicely. Her communication increased a lot. MashaAllah my elder daughter also improved a lot in studying learning and communicating without fear. We are really now happy in home - no homework, no tough way of teaching. JazakAllah to the trustees of Al Qamar Academy. May Allah take care of this wonderful school to grow bigger and bigger. May Allah give all the wealth and needs for the school in the up coming years." Saleemuddeen and Mumtaz,
"Iman has developed reading skills, self confidence, positive math outlook and good social skills since joining Al Qamar. As a nature lover the school in its core values fits perfectly with her nature" Umm Fathimaah, ABL parent
"Maashallah! Al-Qamar Academy is doing a wonderful job to give knowledge of both Deen (the hereafter) and Duniya (this World)! I am very happy to have put both my daughters in this school. I have found a lot of difference in their behavior and they have settled down very well and want to go to school with lot of pleasure. The Montessori environment and the Deeni mahaul the school has provided is fabulous. My elder daughter Ruqaiyah who is 4+has started speaking in English after joining Al-Qamar she tries to communicate in English, which she never did in her previous school. My second daughter Saadiyah also speaks English. Apart from English, they are also learning many things in Montessori environment, like pounding, beating up eggs, churning butter milk, and how to keep the surroundings clean. My children clean the place which they mess up which is indeed very much helpful. The collection of books which Al Qamar has are too good and very knowledgable. They have learnt a lot of discipline Maashallah! My daughters have memorised a few short Surahs and duas.Maashallah Al Qamar is also focusing on Tajweed. I pray to Allah (Swt) for the prosperity of this institution. I am glad that I found such a Good environment for my children." Umme Ruqaiyah, Montessori parent
"My favorite aspect of The Al Qamar Academy School is that the teachers, co-teachers have timeless patience. Because of this school my kids are smarter and not frustrated anymore. The teachers have a unique way of teaching; they make learning fun by doing things in a different way. Few of the activities like Arabic speaking, Religious activities like Learning Quran with proper pronunciation and understanding Quran, book-reading etc... are much appreciated. The school system is all about the school faculty team getting students prepared for the real world and teaching those new strategies on how to make learning easier. The school staff shows a lot of compassion, respect and patience to their students.
"There's no doubt in my mind that my kids are getting a first-rate education at Al Qamar Academy. In addition to opportunities to excel, they also (Parents) get chances to participate in a range of activities where they doesn't have to be the best in order to be valued. I can count on Al Qamar Academy to challenge and nurture my kids, and to reinforce the values that they get from me as a parent.There are many excellent schools. What I cherish about Al Qamar Academy is that it's an excellent place." Abdul Nazeer, Montessori parent
