Organization Name: مدرسة كالامازو الإسلامية Kalamazoo Islamic School
Organization Overview: The Kalamazoo Islamic School (KIS) welcomes you. We are looking forward to assisting you with Islamic education and exciting competitions.
Kalamazoo Islamic School (KIS) started at Kalamazoo Islamic Center (KIC) to meet the needs of Muslim children living in and around the greater Kalamazoo area. Although KIC was established to serve the needs of the university student population at Western Michigan University, it soon became apparent that many of their children's religious needs were not being met.
Many of the parents in the community joined together to open up the Kalamazoo Islamic School so that they could provide their children with Islamic education each week. As the years went by, the population of the community grew and now KIS has around 200 students enrolled each year. Students vary in age from as young as four (pre-school age) through highschool. KIS also has adults, both college age and beyond, enrolled in their senior classes.
The regular school starts promptly at 11:00AM and end at 2:15PM after the Zuhar prayers. The
Arabic Language Classes are offered from 10:00am to 10:50am. The school timings are fixed for the
entire school year, and no adjustments are made for daylight savings time.
Parents are responsible for on-time bringing and picking-up their children to/from the school.
Furthermore, Parents are also responsible for monitoring their children before and after school
hours. Zuhar prayers are part of the curriculum and students must pray Zuhar with the Jamaa. Early arrival is encouraged to pray Tahiyat-al-Masjid upon entering the Masjid, and Duha prayers (before
Zuhar).
