Minaret College is a co-educational independent Islamic school. It was established in 1992 to provide an integrated curriculum for children from Grade Prep to Year 12. The integrated curriculum includes subjects which are taught in the Victorian Education System, in addition to Islamic studies, Qur’an, Hadith and Arabic. As part of the curriculum, students perform mid-day prayer (Salat – ul – Zuhur) in the school mosque, during lunchtime. The objective of the College is to instil Islamic morals, manners, and values in its students so that they can feel proud to be called Australian Muslims. The College aims to encourage and assist young people in developing the skills, attitudes and forms of knowledge both secular and Islamic, which they will carry with them into adulthood. Thus, our college endeavours to ensure that all students have access to a common and comprehensive education by which they gain the knowledge they need to participate in a democratic multi-cultural society. It is the view of the college that students should be challenged, extended, and offered success in a worthwhile learning environment. They will also be given the opportunity to take increasing responsibility for their education. This involves holding high expectations for each student, and the maintenance of a disciplined working environment, for fostering and rewarding of students' efforts. The college believes that sound teaching and learning practices should offer young people the opportunity to grow as autonomous Muslim adults and introduce them to their rights and responsibilities within their respective community.
