Dr Farah Ahmed PhD, FHEA, FCCT Director of Research and Education Welcome to Shakhsiyah Schools which are the outcome of over 20 years of strong niyyah leading to dedicated research, piloting, implementation, and development of an educational model drawn from Quran, Sunnah and classical Islamic educational philosophy.
Our schools were born out of the efforts of a group of home-educating Muslim mothers, who have been working collaboratively since the late 1990s to fulfil their Islamic duty as primary educators for their British-born children. Within a few years, this network of home-educating groups had grown to about a dozen.
At this point, these groups merged, and two independent schools with an alternative and Islamic ethos known as Shakhsiyah Schools were established in 2002. The foundation of Shakhsiyah Education is Ḥadīth Jibrīl, and the characterisation of education that we find there in terms of imān, Islam and ihsān.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
