Children learning together with an educator in the Al Manarat Special Education Program

Monday–Friday · 9:00 a.m.–1:30 p.m. · Academic year: September–June

Individualized learning, practical skills, and Islamic character development for children ages 4 to 12.

Our approach

Every child brings unique strengths, needs, and potential.

The Al Manarat Special Education Program provides individualized support and structured learning in a caring Islamic environment. Through purposeful small-group learning, we help students build confidence, communication, practical skills, and greater independence.

A thoughtful first step: every family begins with a consultation and individual assessment.
Who we support

Support shaped around the whole child

Each child is considered individually through a parent consultation and assessment. Support may focus on one or more of these areas.

Communication

Language, expression, understanding, and social interaction.

Regulation

Emotional regulation, positive behaviour, attention, and comfort.

Learning

Academic skills, classroom participation, and learning readiness.

Independence

Daily routines, practical skills, confidence, and self-advocacy.

Motor and sensory

Fine-motor, gross-motor, movement, and sensory needs.

The learning day

A balanced program for learning, character, and growth

Engaging learning

Adapted activities strengthen communication, cooperation, academic participation, and social confidence.

Islamic knowledge and character

Accessible Islamic learning builds manners, compassion, responsibility, and a meaningful sense of belonging.

Creative, sensory, and motor activities

Arts, sensory experiences, and movement support expression, regulation, coordination, and physical confidence.

Assessment and admission

A thoughtful beginning for every family

The intake process helps the school understand each child’s strengths, current skills, learning needs, communication, participation, and required level of support.

Parent consultation

We begin with the family’s priorities, questions, and understanding of the child.

Individual assessment

Staff observe skills, participation, communication, regulation, and learning needs.

Program plan

Appropriate goals and supports are identified and discussed clearly with the family.

Admission decision

Placement is based on whether the program can safely and meaningfully meet the child’s needs.

A caring Islamic environment

Children grow when they feel welcomed, understood, and encouraged.

Our program combines educational and developmental support with Islamic knowledge, manners, compassion, and respect. Children are supported at their own pace while remaining connected to a nurturing school community.
