Founding Mums
The founders of Al-Hidaayah Academy are ordinary women who have a strong passion for the upbringing of all children. Our desire is to have our children develop into successful adults who make the beauty of Islam evident in every aspect of their lives. This, we understand, can only be sustained if they interact with others who also do the same, hence the decision to build a school.
From our consolidated wealth of experience and knowledge, you can trust us to provide the Al-Hidaayah Academy team all the support required to develop your children into trustworthy, confident, purposeful, well-behaved, and reliable young adults. With a strong school/parent partnership, we believe we can establish a good foundation of knowledge, discipline, and sound moral ethics within which we can develop a strong network to groom our upcoming leaders of tomorrow.
