Ladies, I cannot seem to find much information about applying for exemption from Islamic Studies at school. Could someone point me to the right direction?

Also, has anyone been through the process and managed to get an exemption? Was it straightforward or difficult and what were the challenges? I'd really appreciate your response as this is very important to us. Thanks in advance.

I'm wondering if anyone who's been deemed a Muslim for any reason (for example having parents or grandparents with certain names) but perhaps not practising, does not want their children to be exposed in such a young age, for or any other reason, applied for an exemption and managed to get it?

You can get an exemption if the child religion is not Muslim. if the father is Muslim the child automatically follows the religion of the father which is Islam , hence its mandatory to take Islamic study

You could try checking the KHDA website - it's usually very helpful.
