Islamic environment

The presence of a good Islamic environment provided encouragement for a lot of students from the outside world to join the school. Arab students are rare, but a few came from migrant families during the 1990s. The breaks at school are designed in such a way as to complete the five daily prayers along with recess.

Multiple syllabuses

The school follows multiple syllabuses which include CBSE,[1] [2] Kerala State and Montessori. It has a good track record on results in public exams.

The main attraction for the South Indian students, especially from Kerala, is the teaching of Kerala and Malayalam syllabi. There were not many options for Keralite families to send their children elsewhere. The teaching of all the languages extends up to the tenth standard, after which the students have various language and syllabi to choose from.

Mosque

The students have the opportunity to learn the Qur'an during their studies. The imams present in the mosque are well versed in Qur'an recitation. Every day after asr prayer there is a short talk in the mosque, encouraging the Muslim students to spend more time learning and preaching the religion. After the daily afternoon prayer there is a short reading from the books of Hadiths for boys.

Sports

The school has facilities for basketball, volleyball, cricket and football. The students perform well in inter-school volleyball tournaments. The school has a complete sports training program. The school has recently won the Inter-School Sports Championship trophy.

Shift timings

Due to overcrowding and sex, girls and boys are separated to different shifts after the third standard. Boys attend the afternoon shift while girls continue on the morning shift. In exceptional cases, few boys are allowed to study in the morning shift in 3rd Standard.
