Muslim children growing in the United States face various challenges, including conflicting messages, and peer pressure. They are constantly influenced and exposed to mainstream culture. At this young age, it is difficult for them to clearly differentiate between right and wrong. As parents, we play an integral role in providing guidance and sound advice to our children. However, we are still faced with huge challenges.
Therefore, AIC established Weekend School in 2009 to provide a structured environment to help our children learn Islam, its rich heritage, principles, values, and teachings. At AIC, it is our objective to provide a healthy and rewarding learning experience for Muslim students, and we are committed to provide a sound Islamic educational environment.

With the help of Allah, AIC provides quality teaching environment to help our children learn Quran and Sunnah and accept Islam as their chosen way of life.
