At Al-Amal Academy, we maintain that the early years establish the foundation for lifelong achievement. Our Kindergarten to Grade 4 program supports young learners through a balanced emphasis on academic excellence, personal development, and diverse learning experiences:
By integrating rigorous academics, social-emotional learning, and meaningful exploration, we empower each child to succeed both within and beyond the school setting.
At Al-Amal Academy, Middle School is a vibrant journey of academic, social, and spiritual discovery. Our dedicated teachers inspire excellence while nurturing a strong Islamic character. By Grade 9, our students shine with academic confidence, outstanding manners, and a deep sense of belonging to a community rooted in Islamic Canadian values.
At Al-Amal Academy, learning comes alive beyond the classroom walls. Our athletics, student clubs, and enrichment programs invite students to discover new passions, forge lasting friendships, and grow the confidence and resilience they need to flourish both in school and beyond.
Each program is carefully crafted to enrich academic learning while nurturing physical health, social bonds, leadership skills, and creative expression.

How It Works
There are essentially 4 virtues that make up the core of our character education program in the elementary and junior high divisions: Wisdom, Courage, Temperance and Justice. Our students will learn about Wisdom, specifically how to discern right from wrong, and then show Courage in their actions with a balance that produces nobility, dignity and trustworthiness. Furthermore, students will learn about temperance as the ability to live in moderation in order to show generosity, patience, tolerance and humility. Finally, at Al-Amal Academy, we will encourage our students to practice justice; to act with proper adab with all people, all the time. Our students are encouraged to apply these virtues in the classroom, on the playground, in sports competitions, on field trips and in the community.
By integrating Islamic principles into core subjects such as English, Science, and Social Studies, we ensure that the Qur’an and Sunnah remain at the heart of learning and continue to shape the character of every student.
