Understanding fees

Minimising costs without jeopardising quality

Our mission from the beginning was to solve a critical problem in mainstream education, and tackle the shortfalls in the learning and tarbiyah that many of our young Muslims face today.

We have therefore made it a priority to minimise costs without jeopardising the quality of education, to ensure that our provisions are affordable to the average Muslim family. You can now get a high quality education from £3 a lesson, less than the price of a coffee.

Our full-time homeschooling package includes the teaching of around seven subjects, along with our tarbiyah and enrichment curriculum. All fees are paid in advance.

If the figures on this page are what stands between your child and a place, look at it before you rule us out.

Questions parents ask

Questions about fees

Can my child join partway through the year?

Yes. We enrol on a rolling basis, so there is no single deadline to miss and no waiting for September.

Do you offer scholarships?

One full scholarship each year, for a student entering Year 7 whose family could not otherwise afford private homeschooling. Applications open on 1 June and close on 1 July, and it is open to families anywhere in the world.

How do we enrol?

Register online in about ten minutes, pay the admissions fee, and your child sits the entry exam. You then choose any optional subjects and we send a personalised timetable. If you would rather talk first, book a free consultation.
