How admission works

A clear path from interest to placement

Submit the family form

Tell us the learner’s age, school level, Quran and Arabic level, preferred branch and learning mode.

Short placement assessment

A teacher checks recitation, reading and learning needs so the student joins an appropriate group.

Confirm branch and support

The academy confirms availability, schedule, suggested contribution and any family financial support.

Begin learning and receive feedback

Attendance, assignments and progress are shared through the learning portal and parent communication channel.

Inclusive access

Financial difficulty should not prevent Islamic education.

KIIA uses suggested monthly contributions while allowing full, partial, sponsored or hardship-supported participation. Every family’s situation is handled respectfully and confidentially.
