Our Philosophy
Tarbiyah
Character Education
At Peace Academy, Charachter Education or Tarbiyah refers to the systematic development and training of our students in the light of Islamic teachings. It is a continuous and comprehensive process of developing all aspects of our students’ character and personality which include spiritual, intellectual, moral, social and physical aspects. These are the School-Wide Goals & Religious Skills that we try to strive for each one of our students.
​
Al-Ma'thurat
Al-Ma’thurat is a compilation of important Quranic verses and authentic ahadith presented in the form of a litany in our morning assemblies. These verses and supplications selected are of a spiritual virtue, particularly when it comes to the exercise of purifying the heart.
​
This is a list of Daily Ma’thurat that are recited daily in our morning assembly by the entire student body, teachers and staff.
​
Weekly Khatira
Our high school students take turns weekly to give khatiras after Dhuhur prayer. These khatiras provide the opportunity for our students to train to be good leaders and develop knowledge sharing skills.
