THE ALIMIYYAH PROGRAMME

British Curriculum

Why Buraaq Academy?

This part time curriculum is an affordable, flexible, and practical solution for parents seeking a balanced education for their children without the demands of a full-time schedule. Designed to cover the core subjects of Maths, Science, and English in just two days per week (Monday and Tuesday), it provides a focused, structured learning plan that fits seamlessly into a family’s busy lifestyle.

At Buraaq Academy, we understand the unique challenges of homeschooling. As parents ourselves, we recognize the importance of protecting and nurturing our children while providing them with a strong foundation in education and faith.

That’s why we’ve developed a unique curriculum rooted in Islamic values, designed to support families in their homeschooling journey.

Our program is a two-day curriculum that focuses on the necessary core subjects—Maths, Science, and English—ensuring your child receives a quality education while leaving ample time for personal growth and family priorities.

This approach allows parents to focus on other commitments during the week, stress-free, knowing their children’s education is covered without compromising quality.

At Buraaq Academy, we are committed to helping parents create an environment where their children can thrive academically, spiritually, and emotionally.
