Introduction

The Quba Institute of Arabic and Islamic Studies is a corollary of the International Muslim Brotherhood, Inc. The International Muslim Brotherhood was established in 1949. It is the oldest indigenous Muslim Organization/Masjid in Philadelphia. From as far back as 1967, when the first Adult Islamic Educational Programs were established, this masjid has been at the forefront of Islamic education. During that time, International Muslim Brotherhood forged partnerships with the Muslim Student Associations of local Universities to expand the level of competency of their educational outreach programs. Such educational and political luminaries as Hassan Turabi, the former President of the Sudan; Abdul-Hamid Abu Sulaiman, the Director of the Islamic University of Malaysia and Medhat Hassanein, the Minister of Finance of The Arab Republic of Egypt have added their voices and their efforts to replenish and support International Muslim Brotherhood's educational agenda.

The Instructional Program at Quba Institute evolves from a holistic educational model. Tenets of the Comer School Reform Model are employed to help address the academic, social, emotional, cultural and most importantly religious dynamics of our student’s lives. Our inclusive character education programming is grounded in the Eleven Effective Principles of Character Education Model. We remain committed to our founder Sheikh Nafea Muhaimin’s legacy of educating the whole person. We believe that there is a unique value in the ideological alignment of the school and home in a meaningful educational partnership. We hope to guide our students in the merging of their lives. Our staff serves as their guiding lights in this new millennium. We help our students envision themselves as members of a global community.
The academic curriculum is aligned with the Pennsylvania State Standards and the Pennsylvania Department of Educations’ Literacy Framework. The focus of our academic program is to create highly literate students. We have embraced the Pennsylvania Comprehensive Literacy Framework has the guide for cross-curricular Literacy instruction. Over the last four years the staff has extensively participated in Professional Development seminars with sustained support systems to master this framework. ---->

The Qur’aanic Sciences, Islamic Studies and Arabic instructional programs are created and implemented under the direct supervision and scholarship of the school’s Director, Imam M. Anas Nafea Muhaimin. Age, aptitude and individual achievement drive an array of inclusive learning opportunities at every grade level.
At Quba Institute we utilize interdisciplinary instructional methodologies. We believe that cross-curricular learning activities enhance student achievement. Experiential learning is incorporated throughout the school. Our instructional staff has focused much of their energies on the development and implementation of instructional strategies that scaffold our students learning. All classrooms are driven by student-centered teaching practices.
In the 2005-2006 school year the instructional day will be seven hours in length. In accordance with the federal NCLB act we implemented an extended-day tutorial program in the 2003-2004 school term to bring all of our students to high levels of academic and personal success. In the up-coming year we will be extending the range and nature of these services.
Quba Institute is comprised of four Small Learning Communities: The Pre-School, The Lower School, The Middle School and The High School.
