Home Schooling

homeschool3"A mother's lap is the best school in which a child is trained. That which he learns from his mother is quite different from what he learns from his teachers. He picks up more from his mother than he does his teachers... It is a human responsibility and a divine duty, a noble deed, to raise a true human being."

Imam Khomeini (r.a) (17 August 1979)

Home schooling has become an increasingly common word in the vocabulary of new parents these days. The decision to send their child to a structured school or not has become a concern for many parents who feel that the public school system may not adequately provide for their children as they see fit.

We strive to facilitate a healthy lifestyle for the body, mind, and soul – as inspired by Islam's universal values.

OUR ORIGIN

It started with a child's desire to grow, a parent's desire to provide the opportunity, and a family's desire to work together in realizing a better future . This principal, existing simultaneously in all families, makes our origin a place we like to call "Home".

Our family of volunteers, and partners came together, understanding the goal, each one contributing efforts that are both priceless and timeless, to help build something they would not only consider their own, but worth sharing with all those aspiring for a healthier lifestyle.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

A Healthy Lifestyle is one that caters to the balance between the body, mind, and soul. Each component requires nourishing, and seeks growth. Our success depends on realizing this balanced growth, as individuals, families, communities, and ultimately as all of creation.

Motherhood

"As he lay lying on the ground, his mother was on the prayer mat, thanking her Lord for giving her the chance to see this day. Without looking back, she had sent her son into the battle ground, to fight, fully realizing and knowing that that would be the last she would see of him alive. She put her tired forehead on the turbah, thanking the MERCIFUL, praising Him and asking that her little sacrifice may be accepted."

motherhood This was the scene in the tents of Imam Hussein (A.S.) on the day of Ashura. Some mothers had already sent their sons out into the battle field only to have them come back severed. Others were preparing their boys for what was to come. Telling them of how brave the others had been, in attempt to give them courage and not have them weaken at the last minute. Little did they know that for their sons "death was sweeter than honey”. The preparation for this tragic day began in the wombs of all the women when their son's were conceived and especially after they were born. They trained their little ones to be brave and courageous and ready to give their life for their Imam (a.s.)
