As-salamu 'alaykum! Welcome to Manara

Pursuing excellence in holistic Islamic education

Manara Education C.I.C. is an independent Community Interest Company which aims to promote holistic approaches to Islamic education and parenting, and academic excellence and virtue for young people.

 

We support parents who wish to be more involved in their child's education, whether through flexi-schooling or home education. We also support 'human scale' education, multi-age learning communities, personalised learning, education for sustainability, and parental choice. Our curriculum at Manara Academy is inspired by Montessori and Classical education grounded in Islamic perspectives. All our staff are CRB checked, our curriculum is broad and balanced, and our pupils are happy to learn in a caring, home-like environment.

 

We look forward to serving the community and ask for your prayers and support.
