Commitment to Excellence
The faculty and the
administration are committed to
excellence in competence and performance
at all levels of the learning and
teaching process. Hence, the need and
encouragement to the faculty to take
professional development seriously and
make efforts to take advantage of the
opportunities available to them within
the school and without the school.
Collegial seminars and workshops are
also held in the School on various
topics, including disciplinary
management and student relations.
Hiring Standards
To maintain the highest
possible standards the teachers are,
therefore, vetted, chosen and observed.
Thus, qualifications of the faculty are
of paramount importance. Most of our
teachers have graduate degrees and
diplomas and vast educational experience
and expertise in various subjects that
they are called upon to teach.
Moral Values
Paper qualifications
aside, in an Islamic School, the
teachers are parent-surrogates,
role-models of Islamic behavior. Hence,
the School demands not only educational
qualifications of its faculty but also
requires that each faculty member train
the children in appropriate Islamic
character and behavior by acting upon
the tenets of Al-Islam. The female
teachers have to be appropriately and
modestly attired so that the hijab-clad
female students learn appropriate
dress-code and modesty in behavior. The
male-teacher is expected to grow a beard
so that he is seen as a person of
probity and Islamic credential. When
teachers come for interviews, they are
observed and the selection process is
stringent. Hence, in its Sixteenth year,
the School has not had a single incident
of indecent behavior or word to
scandalize the School.
Administrative Staff
Al-Iman’s administrative
staff are the important cog in the
wheel, behind the scenes ensuring
records are kept, supplies are
available, schedules maintained, classes
manned and parents informed of anything
untoward or pleasant and of the child’s
progress and developmental needs. The
administrative staff supports the
teaching efforts of the faculty and
creates an atmosphere that is conducive
to learning.
Qualified Nurse
A qualified full-time
nurse takes care of minor injuries,
ailments and complaints and s/he is able
to summon help from Medical facilities
should the need arise.
Kitchen Staff
Helpful catering staff
see to it that healthy, halaal,
wholesome food is served for breakfast
and lunch to the students and that no
one goes hungry.
Ancillary Staff
The ancillary staff are
at the beck and call of the school to
keep the place in good repair and clean,
safe and sound as children run down the
corridors or in the gym or staff hurry
from class to class or when students
gather for the mid-day prayers. |
