This fundraiser is being organized by
Ottawa Islamic School and Masjid
Empowering Our Mosques, Empowering Our Community
The Ottawa Islamic School is a non-profit organization based in Ottawa, Ontario. OIS was founded by members of the Ottawa Muslim Community.
It is the first Islamic school in Canada’s capital and currently caters for students from JK to grade 12. Though the school has had humble beginnings, it now serves to provide education to Muslim youth in the 21st century; it serves all Muslim communities. The Ottawa Islamic School offers the ability for students to learn and earn an Ontario Secondary School Diploma in a Muslim environment, around other Muslims.
The Muslim identity is of paramount importance. Creating a strong identity based on the tenets of Islam requires a special and specific type of education. The challenges are numerous; however, it is always possible to offer the best of both worlds—providing an excellent Islamic education together with the Ontario academic curriculum. It is proven that when students feel connected to their learning environment, they thrive and flourish.
At the Ottawa Islamic school students thrive and grow at ease and comfort, and continue to post secondary education with confidence. There is great emphasis on the value of education and lifelong learning. At the Islamic school, emphasis is on the whole child as they learn the values of respect, responsibility and social connections.
We are seeking to secure a promotional and marketing opportunity to make our Annual Fundraising Dinner a success, and expand our School, Center & Masjid. We want to build 7 classrooms, science lab, library and gym. We want to have the biggest center for our community youth.
