Rooted in Faith, Ready for the World

We strive to develop confident and compassionate American Muslims who are inspired by the beauty of Islam and whose faith is a guide and source of strength in their daily lives.

We are committed to providing an engaging experience that fosters a sense of community and an appreciation for diversity within an atmosphere that is inclusive, supportive, and encouraging of questions.

The ideal graduate will be rooted in Islamic values, a life-long learner dedicated to serving others who continues to grow in love for God and His Prophet.

Class Structure

ICB Sunday School offers grades kindergarten through tenth grade and all students are required to attend two classes each Sunday: Islamic Arabic and Religion.

Subject 1

Islamic Arabic

The goal of Islamic Arabic is to develop a familiarity and appreciation for the Arabic language as well as focus on the development of love and appreciation for the Qur'an. The curriculum includes Surah memorization and learning English meaning of those surahs. The older grades are introduced to tafsir.

Subject 2

Religion

The goal of the Religion class is to develop confident and compassionate American Muslims. This is achieved by cultivating an emotional and intellectual attachment to Islam, fostering friendships and social support networks and encouraging parents to reinforce at home what is learned at school. Our classes have a particular focus on the classroom experience with group activities and student-centered learning.

New Families

As-salaamu 'alaykum, and welcome! We offer two program options: Morning Program (10:30 AM–1:30 PM) and Afternoon Program (2:00 PM–5:00 PM). Our school operates on a cooperative model, so each family is required to volunteer at least three days per academic year.

Not sure if our program is right for you? Watch our Open House video.

Preferred Admission Teacher Program (PATP): because space is limited, we encourage parents to apply through the PATP, which offers priority admission to children of selected parents who commit to teaching for the full school year as lead or co-lead teachers.

Steps: create a new family account in SunWebApp, select "2026-27 New Child," complete each child's information, and upload proof of birth. Payment is not required at registration — only after admission is offered. Complete the process by June 28, 2026.

Questions: admissions@icbwayland.org (please allow 5–10 business days during summer).
