Major Upgrade to Play Area

Alhamdullillah, the major work on Ilm Academy’s outer play area upgrade is complete and the area is glistening with green turf! With the approval and support of ICF Board, the major upgrade to Ilm Academy’s outer grounds has  now been completed. Artificial turf has been installed at the entrance of school gate and all around the gazebo that had previously been a dirt area. The artificial turf will provide more of a cushion than natural grass/soil or other types of surface materials. It will not fade or become discolored. The school had been keen to create more sitting/play space for the students for health and safety reasons and Alhumdullilah, Ilm Academy and the ICF building have gotten this very sleek makeover! Some work involving landscaping and painting of the school walls near the dirt area are still ongoing.  The project cost was almost 30K, of which the school raised nearly 25k with the help of the ICF Board. For the remaining amount (4K) we would like to find more sponsors to fund the project. Insha Allah, sponsors will leave behind an enduring legacy for themselves.  Please PayPal donations to finance@localhost. All support goes towards making Ilm Academy an even better place for students! llm Academy would like to acknowledge and recognize all sponsors who supported the project and helped create such a wonderful play and seating area for Ilm Academy’s students for years to come. May Allah put barakah in all of our efforts for our community and our children. Ameen!

Science Fair

Ilm Academy will be holding its annual Science Fair on April 7-9 as a virtual event this year. A much anticipated event of the academic calendar, the Science Fair provides opportunity for students to reflect on newly learnt science concepts and research new projects that they can work on. This year, there is a slight change in the administering of the event where it will not be a competition but an open presentation of projects by all students. The complete packets for the Science Fair have already been given to all students. Insha Allah, as always, there will no doubt be some very exciting projects coming forth from our young scientists!
