A promise from our founders

Your child should be known, not processed.

We founded Alfjr Academy in 2019 with one promise: every child is understood, matched with the right teacher and guided one-to-one through Quran, Arabic and Islamic Studies. Our teachers are native Arabic speakers and graduates of recognized Islamic universities, our curriculum team writes the books children learn with, and every lesson ends with a report to parents. More than 30,000 hours of live lessons later, the promise is the same.
