Our Core Values

Tawheed (Monotheism)

We prioritize teaching the oneness of Allah and the importance of singling Him out in all acts of worship, following the methodology of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah.

Following the Sunnah

We adhere to the authentic Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him) in all aspects of worship, character, and daily life, as understood by the righteous predecessors.

Ikhlas (Sincerity)

We emphasize the importance of sincerity in seeking knowledge and performing deeds solely for the pleasure of Allah, not for worldly gain or recognition.

Beneficial Knowledge

We focus on teaching knowledge that benefits students in their Deen and Dunya, drawing from the Qur'an, authentic Hadith, and understanding of the scholars.

Akhlaq (Good Character)

We instill excellent Islamic manners, humility, respect, honesty, and compassion in our students, following the perfect example of the Prophet (peace be upon him).

Academic Excellence

We pursue educational excellence while maintaining Islamic values, preparing students for success in both religious and secular studies.

Our Educational Philosophy

Academic Excellence First: We provide a rigorous Western education curriculum in core subjects (Math, Science, English, Social Studies) that prepares students for college entrance exams and future career success. Our academic standards meet or exceed state and national requirements.

Integrated Islamic Education: Alongside academics, students receive comprehensive Islamic education including Qur'an memorization (Hifz), Arabic language, and Islamic Studies (Aqeedah, Fiqh, Hadith, Seerah)—all taught according to Qur'an and authentic Sunnah following the understanding of Salaf as-Salih.

Islamic Character Development: We emphasize Islamic manners (Adab), moral character, and practical application of Islamic teachings in daily life. Students learn to balance worldly success with spiritual growth and commitment to Islamic values.

Sound Aqeedah Foundation: All Islamic instruction is based on correct Islamic belief according to the understanding of the Companions and righteous predecessors, protecting students from innovations and deviations in matters of faith.

Balanced Approach: We believe Muslims need both religious and worldly knowledge to succeed. Our graduates are prepared for college, equipped with beneficial Islamic knowledge, and ready to contribute positively to society while maintaining their Islamic identity.

"Whoever Allah intends good for, He gives him understanding of the religion."

"The seeking of knowledge is obligatory for every Muslim."

- Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) [Sunan Ibn Majah]

Our History

Riyad Saliheen School was established by dedicated Muslims who recognized the need for an educational institution that provides authentic Islamic education while maintaining high academic standards. The school takes its name from the famous collection of Hadith "Riyad as-Saliheen" (The Gardens of the Righteous) compiled by Imam An-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him), reflecting our aspiration to cultivate righteous individuals.

Since our establishment, we have been committed to following the Qur'an and Sunnah according to the understanding of the Salaf as-Salih. Our school has grown from a small study circle to a full-fledged educational institution, alhamdulillah (all praise is due to Allah). We continue to expand our programs and facilities to better serve the Muslim community while maintaining our commitment to authentic Islamic education.

Our Teaching Methodology

Memorization with Understanding

We don't just focus on rote memorization; students learn the meanings, context, and practical application of what they memorize from the Qur'an and Hadith.

Interactive Learning

Our experienced teachers use engaging teaching methods that encourage active participation, questions, and discussion within the boundaries of Islamic etiquette.

Regular Assessment

We conduct regular evaluations to track student progress in both religious and academic subjects, ensuring comprehensive development.

Individual Attention

We maintain small class sizes to ensure each student receives personalized attention and support according to their learning pace and needs.
