Classes for the upcoming 2025-2026 academic year will start on Monday July 29th, 2024. Dikrao and Dikrio being given accommodation by Mukhayyam al-Quran will be asked to move into Fakhri Makan/Nuzul al-Barakah a day before to register themselves. Students who are arriving later than the arrival date must inform the Qism al- Tahfeez head office in advance.

Qism al-Tahfeez does not take the responsibility of any students’ transportation to and from the airport throughout the academic year. Parents must arrange for their child’s transportation on their own and inform the head office of the arrival/departure details in advance by emailing admin@mahadalzahrausa.com.

An annual parent orientation is held at the beginning of each academic year. For the upcoming 2024-2025 academic year, this orientation will be tentatively held on Monday July 29th, 2024. All parents are encouraged to attend this in-person event to get a better understanding of our program’s requirements, tour our facilities and meet our staff. Further details and date of the orientation will be sent out to accepted families closer to the date. Recordings of this orientation will be made available to families who are unable to attend in person.

Students living in Fakhri Makan (dikrao) or Nuzul al-Barakah (dikrio) are given one weekend every month (known as monthly weekends) in which they are allowed to return to their families or visit their friends for one night. Students must inform the office about their whereabouts ahead of time and must return by Sunday nights to resume their classes on Monday. Students needing to temporarily leave the campus for extenuating circumstances (e.g., doctor visits, family emergencies) must request raza through admin@mahadalzahrausa.com and obtain raza slips from the Qism al-Tahfeez head office before they leave.

Dikrao are required to live in Fakhri Makan, our newly constructed dormitory, and out-of-city dikrio are required to live in Nuzul al-Barakah. Dikrio from Houston may only live at home with their families, and parents are responsible for their student’s daily pick-ups and drop-offs to and from Masjid-e-Mohammedi. Tahfeez, tadrees, school, lunches, outings, sport days, and other extracurriculars are a part of both programs.

Students will need to bring their own laptops in order to complete their school work. We do not take responsibility for any of our student’s personal devices such as phones, laptops, tablets, etc.

We require all students to bring laptops/tablets, notebooks, basic stationary and art supplies and headphones for their school work. In addition, we strongly recommend students bring scientific calculators and graphing paper to help them with their math assignments.

All students accepted in the program are required to complete school on state-accredited online platforms such as Connections Academy and K12. We provide a structured school atmosphere and a schedule that allows students dedicated time to work on assigned work within each class. An in-person learning coach and a team of tutors ensure that each student understands and completes their schoolwork with integrity and in a timely fashion. Once a student is accepted into our Muhkhayyam al- Quran program, we will send more information about the school program. Questions regarding the school program can be emailed to the School Director at schooldirector@mahadalzahrausa.com.

Throughout the year, several extracurriculars and outings are offered to help our students remain fresh and engaged during their studies. Once a month, a sports day is planned on Saturday and students compete in a variety of sports such as football, soccer, basketball, swimming, etc. In addition, monthly academic workshops offered by the school staff focus on topics such as essay writing, note-taking, plagiarizing, etc. Students are also offered zakireen and calligraphy workshops, and participate in Mahad band. Last, students compete for ‘house points’ through their performance in academics, tadrees, tahfeez and fun school extracurricular activities such as cookie decorating, art contests, debates, etc. Winners of the house awards are treated with an outing every semester and all students engage in an annual overnight tafreeh (outing) that helps them bond while treating themselves!

Student progress is communicated on a weekly basis. Progress in tahfeez can be tracked via weekly reports sent by the staff and daily through the students’ Elearning account. School progress can be tracked via weekly reports on Gradelink (our internal communications system) and through Connections Academy or K12 (students’ online schooling platforms.) Finally, in-depth conversations regarding individual students happen between staff and parents during the parent-teaching meetings held thrice during the year.

Daily progress in hifz can be tracked through the Elearning Quran (ELQ) system. All students joining our program must transfer themselves to the ELQ system Houston Mukhayyam Branch (Elearning Quran) before August 1st 2023 to confirm their enrollment in any of our programs.
The initial branch transfer request will be done by Mukhayyam Houston. Parents are responsible for accepting the transfer request in their child’s e-learning account and paying the $10 (USD) transfer fee. The transfer procedure takes anywhere from 3-8 days. However, we cannot initialize the transfer request if parents have not registered on Elearning OR if the account has pending dues. If you have not done so already, please ensure that your child is registered on Elearning and that all previous dues have been paid off. Students who have not approved the transfer request on Elearning by August 1st will not be granted raza to join our program.
