About Us

Nurturing Minds, Enriching Souls – Excellence in Education, Rooted in Faith.

AlBaqir Academy aims to provide students with the highest standards of education infused with teachings of Islam. According to the educational philosopher, Dewey, “To possess all the world of knowledge and lose one’s own self is as awful a fate in education as in religion.” As such, AlBaqir Academy concentrates on educational as well as moral values, because it works towards graduating students who will not only be exceptional academically, but moral citizens of the world as well.

The academy is lead by Imam Dr. Usama Al-Atar, who holds a Ph.D. in chemistry, a Master’s degree in Education, and is a globally recognized religious speaker and educator who is well trained in religion.

Students of AlBaqir Academy will be taught Leadership skills, Excellence in behaviour, Aspiration for success, and Devotion to morality (LEAD).
