Sapienza Educational Publishing
Sapienza Educational Publishing, a division of Ilm Academy, has been established to fill the void of quality curricula developed specifically for Islamic schools with ongoing production and publishing of Islamic school curriculum in key subject areas. Sapienza publications are based on the premise that education in Islamic schools and for home schoolers needs to be geared towards an integrated personality of the learner that integrates Islamic values with the curriculum.
Sapienza’s science textbooks and workbooks for the early grades tie in scientific concepts with the teachings of Quran. It is imperative for these concepts to be transmitted very clearly to young minds in a manner that eradicates the confusion that often results when curriculums clash with Islamic morals and codes. Tailored along these lines, the morally uplifting stories in the phonics readers are aligned with Islamic themes and values and depict relevant characters while addressing all phonics rules for early learners. The full colored books with original child centered artwork are tailored for the early grades and are specifically intended not only for use by Islamic schools but also by home schoolers and as supplementary educational support for young learners at home.
Sapienza’s phonics readers have been specifically designed to help Kindergarteners get a jumpstart in reading skills. According to the National Literacy Association, learning the combinations of the basic letter-sounds helps children to read nearly 84% of English print. Accordingly, Sapienza’s series of short sound readers provide the required practice of the newly learnt concept.
Sapienza Educational Publishing is the brainchild of the school’s veteran educationists who hold a combined experience of over thirty years in the US. Under the flagship of Ilm Academy, Sapienza Educational Publishing is proud to be among the pioneers of Islamic curricula. SEP books are not only part of the curriculum at Ilm Academy but are readily available for purchase through Amazon.
Testimonials
It is a very good and noble project preparing curriculum with Islamic values in focus. This will create awareness among students of Islamic school globally how Muslims contributed in the development of science, applied sciences and mathematics. My suggestion is that the project team and publishers should carry this noble project for higher levels.
Alhumdullillah, it is comforting to know that our children are safe learning from your books, and that they will grow learning alongside connecting with the Qur’an. I noticed that the activity based section is Alhumdullillah not just fun based but also a mental exercise needed for a child to ponder, and to have her/his queries answered. I feel pondering actually needs to be taught these days to children by virtue of their creativity and thinking pathways having been almost sadly relegated to the forgotten area of the brain because of constant exposure to cyber games.
SEP’s Science textbook is so so wonderful mashallah. It is exactly what our Islamic schools need. I have worked on textbook creation with Noorart and know this is absolutely no easy feat. Mashallah what an amazing endeavor and the product shows for it!
