Al-Hijra Saturday School
The current Saturday school program was established in 2003 and is completing its sixth year by the end of May 2009. This program provides a limited alternative for families that can not afford full-time Islamic schools within our community.
With solid Islamic values and a great pride of our heritage, faith and contribution to our society, the graduates of today are better prepared to lead the community in the future where a better leadership is of a great importance to all.
