Student Support
Overview
Al Haadi Academy’s general curriculum follows the guidelines and expectations of Ontario’s Ministry of Education, and emphasizes critical thinking & problem solving; communication & collaboration; and creativity & innovation. We teach all subject areas, including language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, French, physical education, and the arts. Our students excel in all areas when they graduate from the Academy.
We work hard to provide our students with varied opportunities that allow them to consolidate their learning. Teachers develop additional learning activities at all levels to provide challenges for students, which include year-round field trips and in-school presentations that complement our rich curriculum.
Our class capacity is purposefully small, so that we can deeply know each student, help them thrive emotionally and socially, and support their individual path to excellence.
Teachers are some of the most important people in your children’s lives. They give children purpose, set them up for success as citizens of our world, and inspire in them a drive to do well and succeed in life. Therefore, we take great care in selecting teachers who not only have knowledge and experience in the field of education but also embody Islamic characteristics.
Our teachers are professional, dedicated, and innovative. They care about the children, and the children care about them. Our instructors all hold degree from some of the finest universities and institutions in Canada and other countries. However, this is not the only qualification that makes our teachers what they are. It is their dedication to the Islamic lifestyle that makes them much more: role models

Our aim is to create a supportive and positive environment for all learners. We provide school-wide, classroom, small group, and individual assistance to students—meeting them where they are and journeying with them to reach their potential.
At the Academy, we are committed to the development of every student, the whole child, the learner, and the school citizen. We work to ensure that our students have the support they require that involves close collaboration with parents. All resource support is provided by our qualified teachers.
Learning Skills: we identify your child’s strengths and help support their emerging skills through individual support and classroom groupings. Support is for all students those having trouble with specific functions or concepts as well as those exceeding grade-level expectations.
Specific areas of support include Phonics, Reading Decoding, Fluency, Comprehension, Math Concepts and Computations, Writing Skills, and Handwriting.

- Assessment: we conduct formal assessments for all new students Gr 1to 8 joining our school to identify any learning gaps and evaluate the academic level of students. Results of the assessments are then used to determine the effective strategies to be used to close any learning gaps and plan the style of teaching required for different students.
- Intensive English Reading Support – Reading coaches and Reading buddies with Grade 1-2-3-&4 students who need that extra “push” to develop their emerging skills as readers.
- In-Class Academic Support in General Studies – In all general studies classes (grades 2-8) , we offer support to students who benefit from small-group instruction and more individualized attention.
- Arabic Language Support – Available to all students in grades 1-5; emphasis in grades 1-2 on acquiring basic language skills; extra support in grades 3-5 in Arabic language and Quran.
- Quran Teachings – extra support to bolster students’ Quran recitation skills.
Academic Support
Support is available in ESL (English as a second language), Math and other subjects to new students coming into the school.
Counselling
We are working on procuring frequent visits of a qualified social worker to develop students’ social and emotional skills. The social worker will also be available for individual and parental consultation.

Salaam Alaikum, I am a proud parent of four Al Haadi Academy students and I really appreciate the efforts of the principal and all the staff and management for providing quality education both religiously and academically that certainly is helping them grow and succeed. I hope and pray the school grow stronger and stronger by each passing year.
Al Haadi’s qualities are numerous, but one thing stands out is their commitment to personal, one on one teaching of a nurturing style. The staff, students and curriculum are a second home to my children who have benefited greatly intellectually as well as socially and religiously.
My son feels he is a part of a special community at al Haadi Academy, and as a parent I am more than satisfied with how the teachers and staff are approachable and how hard they are working to elevate students academically and morally.
My children attended four Islamic schools in Toronto and Ahaadi Academy is one of the best schools among these four schools, which I highly recommend to everyone. The experienced staff of teachers are very kind and I like the friendly environment, your kids will feel at home.
My children have been attending Alhaadi academy from the very beginning. What a wonderful journey in academics and spirituality. The school provides a very modern academic curriculum along with many fun activities and religious programs. The teachers are always available to speak with, even outside school hours. The dedication and interest to each child by the teachers and their aides is obvious. The school has an air of community, caring and taking care of each other. I am so grateful for the goodness and solid education foundation that my child has benefitted from by attending Al-Haadi Academy School. I wish them success in their journey ahead.
My child admitted to Al Haadi Academy since 1 year ago, and I found that the learning process in it is always up to date and was beyond my expectations.
The teachers in Al Haadi Academy are continuously helping their students to achieve an excellent result in their education. Moreover, they have their special educational activities and festivals that represent a joyful time for students and parents throughout the school year.
All this thanks to God Almighty and thanks to the excellent and organized administration that is keen to provide the best educational methods for its students.
I recommend Al Haadi Academy for parents who really want an excellent education for their children with a multicultural environment.
Al Haadi Academy is the right place for my daughter where the school covers both Islamic and academic teachings.
They focus on Islamic studies based on Ahlulbayt teachings and values. The academic programs are excellent and promote innovation and self development. The teachers are professionals dedicated and caring. I feel grateful to have enrolled my daughter in such a professional, safe and friendly learning environment.
The Al-Haadi school is a great place that my children have been attending for a while now. The teachers have been providing students with the knowledge they need to achieve a successful educational experience. I am grateful for the Islamic environment at Al-Haadi as my children have learned a lot about Islam and important Islamic values. I highly recommend Al-Haadi for parents who value and care for the education and success of their children. Lastly, my children feel that the environment at Al-Haadi is very similar to a family environment which is why they genuinely enjoy attending school and spending time with their classmates.
Our family is genuinely appreciative of the patience, dedication and kindness of the teachers and staff at Al Haadi Academy. In our experience, we find that they are quick to provide helpful strategies that cater to the needs of individual learners, while making sure that communication is consistent and effective. I feel that sending my son to the Al Haadi Academy has not only helped his learning, but also his confidence and self-esteem. I would sincerely recommend Al Haadi Academy to any parent who is looking for a nurturing learning environment. Thank you to the staff and teachers!!
The teachers keep close contact with the parents and discuss ways to eliminate any academic issues the child might be having and work.
