Programs

Choose the program that fits your family

Some families want a complete Islamic school day at home. Others want strong Islamic studies and Qur'an alongside public school or homeschool. Adults want to learn for themselves. We offer all three, and every child studies Qur'an as a real subject.

What about kindergarten and high school?

In our founding year, the Full-Time Online School serves grades 1 to 8. Kindergarten opens when we have a kindergarten program worth offering: its own day length, reading and number work, and a plan for the parent at home. Full-time high school opens when our accreditation candidacy is active and the pieces a high school needs (credits, transcripts, and a college counselor) are staffed. High school students are welcome in the Islamic Studies Program now.

There is no in-person campus. SII is based in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and all teaching is online.
