Welcome to Al-Ala a school where excellence in education is one of our standards and strands, where good and positive character matters, where dedication is the minimum requirement from students, teachers, and staff, and where having fun comes second to education. Our Prophet (SAW) said: “Seeking knowledge is required of every Muslim.” Thus he laid the foundations for us to cherish learning, and respect those who seek it.

Al-Ala upholds the Islamic tradition of great respect for knowledge and an open spirit of inquiry. The rich vein of excellence in learning within the Islamic heritage is the foundation of the rigorous academic programme which is intended to serve the needs of the modern world without sacrificing our moral and spiritual values. Since the Islamic faith addresses the complete personality, it is Al-Ala philosophy that knowledge of the world and practice of our beliefs should be integrated into a cohesive whole.

The school seeks to develop in our students the values which define a Muslim: honesty, compassion, respect for self and others, pride in work, a commitment to justice, and acceptance of differences.
