The Hifz coursework is simultaneously completed with the student’s secular studies. CJIIS utilizes an online accredited schooling program* that fully engages all types of students. Academic instruction and guidance is provided by highly qualified and experienced online teachers under a system that targets and rectifies each student’s strengths and weaknesses, all while they are comfortably surrounded by an Islamic environment. Students are also overseen by a Learning Coach who provides the following services:

• Helps students organize the learning environment
• Ensures their day to day academic progress
• Ensures that the students are completing their academic courses promptly
• Uses provided instructional guides to help students make progress through daily lessons
• Uses online tools to help students log attendance and manage their schedules
• Communicates frequently with teachers in order to foster the students’ success

*The accredited schooling program requires a higher tuition. Non-accredited programs are also available for parents that are unable to afford the accredited program.

• Successful student interview

Step 1:  Applying

To apply at CJIIS, one must fill out the online Hifz interest form found below. If applications are not open, you may sign your child up for the waiting list.

Step 2: Follow-up

After receiving the application, our admissions office will follow-up.

Step 3: Interview

After the application is received, you will be contacted regarding an in-person interview.  The Admissions Committee performs a personal interview to determine whether an applicant will experience success at CJIIS.

Step 6: Records

After the completion of all these procedures,  the applicant must ensure that CJIIS receives ALL prior school records, proof of legal residence, immunization records, and any other document requested by the Admissions Committee.
