Ahlul-Bayt has Literacy Fairs and we get to have Fun days. We recite the Qu'ran and have a lot of fun at recess. We get to do art and go to the Public Library. (Mohammad Shams)

I like Ahlul-Bayt because it has rules. It has a prayer room and we learn more about our culture. We have more than one teacher. We have an Islamic Studies teacher, Arabic Teacher and French teacher. (Ghenwa ElHajj Hassan)

I like the people here, especially the teachers. I like the way they teach us. The class size is small and teachers can really focus in on us. It's a very comfortable environment. You feel like you're in the right place. (Jinan Zeitoun)
