Curriculum

LUA follows and implements the curriculum guidelines as set forth by the Kentucky Department of Education Content Standards and Benchmarks. LUA will constantly update its academic curriculum in according to the curriculum of the Fayette County School District, the State of Kentucky as well as the national standards. As an Islamic school, LUA provides the Islamization of instruction in all subject areas based on the Qur’an and the Sunnah (the teachings and practices of Prophet Muhammad-peace be upon him).

Elementary And Middle School Program

The educational program, this year from Kindergarten to 8th Grade, is a traditional system designed to provide a solid foundation for a child’s future learning. Beginning in Kindergarten, children attending the school are instructed in a wide variety of academic subjects including: Reading, Phonics, Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies (History, Geography, and Civics), and Science. They also enjoy outdoor activities and computer education.

As part of our commitment to maintaining the highest academic standards, the school concentrates on developing high literacy and academic performance in its students. For those students who are advanced for their grade level, teachers provide supplemental instructional material to enrich the learning process.

Islamic Education Program

Since Islam is the complete code of life based upon the guidance of the Qur’an, and the teachings and practices of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him), Islamic education prepares a student to be a comprehensive and successful person in this life and in the life hereafter. Once a student can understand Islam, it becomes easy for him /her to realize the true meaning and goal of Islam: the growth and development of peace on earth.

In order to give a proper understanding of Islam and the values and morals it stands for, the Islamic Education Program at LUA aims at nurturing and deepening the faith of its students in Allah and the message of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), through study, demonstration, and practice. Children learn about Islamic values and virtues under the guidance of teachers who share these values and in the company of children who share these goals.

LUA strongly emphasizes Islamic Education and Arabic Language Studies. As part of the Islamic Education program, the children are taught Qur’an, Hadith, Seerah, Fiqh, Tawheed, and Islamic Manners and Morals.

Other Activities

Each year our students have the opportunity to participate in many worthwhile learning experiences, such as Science Fair, Islamic Studies Fair, Qur’an Competition, and Heritage Fair, National Geography Bee, Math and Spelling Bees (in English and Arabic).
