Minaret College

Islamic College of Melbourne South and East

College Philosophy

 

The College aims to fulfill the needs of providing primary and secondary education of high quality for the children of Muslim parents which incorporates the values, attributes, and behavior of Islam.

In catering for these needs, the College responds to the desire of these parents to provide their children with an education and training without the loss of their Islamic identity as they graciously participate in a non-Islamic community environment.
