Hello ladies, looking for some advice.... My kids are going to the Ontario school in Mirdif. They are in Arabic classes for non-Arab speakers however my daughter in grade 3 has been put in the Islamic Studies class (she says there are 2 classes there) Islamic studies for muslim children where the class is taught in arabic and then one for the rest and the class is taught in English. Is that how it works here?? Everyone has to take Islamic studies? Any insight appreciated. Hi Chocochic, I just want to know your feedback about Ontario Canadian school. I am planning to put my kids there. Wanna hear some feedback from parents whose kids are already there. Hows the staff/teachers? Are they certified? Whats your recommendation... thanks.

:confused: I wish it was easier. Fresh minds are given info as facts, that is not what I subscribe too. Belief is, as it says, a belief. Child comes with one info from the school because that is what his teacher said so. I as parent, see it differently. I have no choice but to let it be or further confuse child's mind. :sick:

The following thread would clear up some things for you. As the OP in that thread also had a muslim husband and wanted an exemption for her child. http://www.expatwoman.com/forum/topic133768-application-for-school-and-question-about-family-religion.aspx

If you are a non-Arabic speaking Muslim family, she will attend Islamic Studies, but you can put her in the English section.

Hi ladies - we've actually got some helpful information about this that you can see here: http://www.expatwoman.com/dubai/monthly_education_islamic_studies_16915.aspx "...it is only required that students attend Arabic classes, while the Islamic Studies class is optional to non-Muslims." Hope that helps!

It could be social studies and she is confused as according to my knowledge as the other poster mentioned non muslims do not take Islamic studies.

Nope that's not how it works... non Muslims children of non muslim parents don't have to take islamic education. Only Muslims take islamic education class ..some in English and some in arabic. Arabic language is compulsory for everyone.. there is usually arabic for native speakers and arabic for non-speakers. Arabic and Islamic education are two separate subjects.
