Logic School

Logic School

The content for the School of Logic School is more challenging than that of the School of Grammar in the sense that students continue to memorize and learn new concepts, however they begin to apply the science of logic and rhetoric in their studies. Students engage with primary texts in the most comprehensible translation available and read classical texts in their original language (unabridged). 

In the School of Logic, students begin to study the Science of Tajweed; Jurisprudence, Sirah, and basic principles of Fard Ayn-Obligatory Knowledge for every Muslims.  In Humanities, students will read many of the great works in the classical tradition, write a series of essays in various genres, and develop a keen understanding of grammar.  STEM subjects include Mathematics  with most students graduating from our program with Algebra; FOSS science program for the study of the natural sciences.
