Full Time School (Baitul Mukarram Academy) Overview

Background & Inspiration

Where there is a will, there is a way

Natural history tells us how it works. In 2001 Baitul Mukarram Islamic Society started with an enthusiastic group of people with limited resources but with a long-term vision; it is now a success story. Successful organization connects people to work together for building better community, and that’s why Muslims are building stronger community in the vicinity of BMIS. Now it is the time to think about how to guide and protect our children in the community where we live and grow, and it is the growing demand of our community.

Inception Of BMA- Turning Point

With respect to the above point of views, under the umbrella of BMIS, Baitul Mukarram Academy (BMA) began operation in September 2014 with the slogan / vision statement: “Our Future Is Our Children” in order to introduce a full time Islamic school with Ministry of Education curriculum. BMA was successful in acquiring approval from Ontario Ministry of Education. BMA successfully completed the first school year (2014-2015) fulfilling the curriculum expectations and providing students’ report card on the template of Ministry of Education (MOE). BMA is now under the stream of “Growing Success”. Join us for the protection of the future of our children through continuing empowerment, motivation and dedication. BMA considers your children as our trust to teach them with care, belief, respect, integrity & manners.
