Why Edmonton’s Muslim Community Needs This School in south?

Lack of Full-Time Islamic Schools in Edmonton – Many Muslim families struggle to find schools that offer both Islamic and academic excellence.

A Safe, Faith-Centered Learning Environment – Our children deserve an education rooted in Islamic values while excelling in science, math, and the arts.

Lack of Full-Time Islamic Schools in Edmonton – With your help, we can establish a lasting institution that will serve the community for decades.

Every Contribution Counts – Whether big or small, your donation brings us closer to making this dream a reality.

Hear from Edmonton’s Muslim Families

Ahmed Khan

Edmonton Resident

Edmonton urgently needs an independent Islamic school that nurtures academic excellence and strong Islamic values. Such a school will safeguard our children’s identity, provide a supportive community, and help them grow confidently in faith and education.

Alhamdulillah, my journey from Saskatchewan to Edmonton led me to Omar Ibn Al-Khattab School and Masjid—a place offering excellent education, a welcoming environment, and a strong sense of community for my family.

As a parent in South Edmonton, finding an Islamic school with available admissions has been challenging. The growing demand for faith-based education highlights the urgent need for more space to support our children’s academic and Islamic growth
