History
The madressa was founded in 2008 and has been operating since. Our children are from various ethnic backgrounds.
Structure
- Co-principals
- Treasurer
- Curriculum coordinator
Future Plans
- Extend outreach activities so that 95% of the children in the community attend madressa.
- Eliminate barriers such as fees, rides, etc.
- Develop teacher capacity
Challenges
- Rides are the biggest challenge, a lot of children are not able to attend due this barrier.
- Fees can be problem for some, even though we can waive or develop a payment plan. Some families are not comfortable talking about this.
- Recently the rent for the premises went up to $6000 from $50 due to some cuts in the school division.
