Our teachers are all volunteers from the community, including many former Madrasah graduates. They are dedicated to providing a positive and enriching learning experience for the children.
Madrasah Az-Zahraa is held at 8580 no. 5 Rd, Richmond, BC, which is part of the Az-zahraa Islamic Centre.
Madrasah operates on Sundays, from 10:30 AM to 2:00 PM. The school is closed on public holidays and during breaks. Children have a 30 minute lunch break, and Salaat is a part of the day’s activities.
The school is open to all shia children, ranging from ages 4 to 16. Children must have turned 4 by December of the year they’re entering Madrasah in order to be able to attend.
Madrasah Az-Zahraa aims to provide children with a foundational understanding of Islam, focusing on Shia beliefs and practices. It includes lessons on how to read and recite the Quran, Islamic history, and the principles of Ahlulbayt (a.s.).
