My story with Al-Risala Academy has started on September 2016 when we arrived to Canada and my children bearly spoke English.
The Academy director Mr. Nadim Alwan has accepted the challenge of enrolling them into the regular classes with few hours of additional English tutoring a week. He was also following up along with their teachers on their progress throughout their curriculum. My son was in grade eight and my daughter was in grade two.
Today, after four years: son is in grade 12, daughter is in grade 6, both are fluent in English exactly the same as the native speakers. Both are doing great in the rest of their classes.
Many thanks for Mr. Nadim and for Al-Risala Academy staff.

I love the overall school atmosphere ( friendly and cooperative teachers, Islamic environment to feel safe for your child and high level of academic achievement ). I am making a huge change in the future of my children by enrolling them at Al Risala school.
Al-Risala Academy is a school which can be described as a second home. The environment is super friendly and warm. All the teachers are super kind and are very good at teaching. When it comes to education Al-Risala Academy knows exactly what it is doing. Academically, it has perfect ways of teaching students and encouraging them to do their best. As it also perfectly prepares students for every university out there. As for its principal, Brother Nadim Alwan is a very understanding and fair principal who runs his school very well. I personally have been a student at Al-Risala for almost 7 years and I would gladly love to graduate from this school.
Hands down, best school in the Gta, This school offers so much more than other public or private schools. I personally attended school there from grade 10-12 and i absolutely loved it. Principal Nadeem can be strict sometimes but he is a fair, amazing guy. The staff is also wonderful and honestly it feels like a second home for all students. It will also easily get you in any university/college you are dreaming of and thats because their academic level of teaching is like no other. Best of luck to students and to the wonderful staff that's keeping Al-risala Acadamey the top leading Islamic school in the GTA.
Too many excuses when confronted the principal about acedemic year time table, as for one year and more later administration seem to understand our concern and are listening there customer/parents more which is good.
The school management literally treated the students like family. They helped the students in every way possible to help them achieve best results and become their best selves. Teachers were also great at delivering information and always willing to help with all questions and matters. Also, the school environment was very family like and friendly. I have went to public school and I have seen other islamic schools in Ontario but nothing matches Al-Risala Academy. Absolutely one of the best , if not the best, private Islamic school in Ontario.
I Would definitely recommend this school to anyone looking to have the right Islamic upbringing and education along with an outstanding academic achievement. With the help of the teachers i have seen the potential my kids could reach. I am grateful for all the hard work that goes on behind the scenes too.
The way they dealt with virtual classes during the pandemic was second to none. My kids love the school, their teachers and the whole environment.
The administration from Mr.Nadim to everyone else involved have been exceptional.
Alhamdulillah for having such a school to ease the burden of being away from our home countries and help us with the right upbringing of our kids.
I am writing this review based on my personal experience with Al-Risala Academy as a student. In 2015, I joined this school as a new immigrant to Canada. I did experience some obstacles during my first year in this school; but with the help of the tutoring classes provided by the school and the effort of the teachers and staff I was able to make it through high school with excellent grades (2018). In my opinion, this school well prepared me for my post-secondary studies. I will for sure recommend this school to anyone who cares about their children's future.
This is very recent after 1 year and half with this school Academic level is ok as most teachers (non Arabic)are very qualified.stay away from Arab But I can say the management is below zero The head office ,my experience with them came from My son being bullied frequently from same people When I went to speak with mister Nadeem No enough response as it should be if respected school.even he after watching the video ,the only video that I got to watch ,never apologized or taken an action against the offending same kid each time hurting my son.on the reverse they considered that me one mother for one child but other bad boys are family in school so financially it is not good to be against them and defend the right.they only suspend the child half day at school although boxed my son with no resone After that ,I told I will get police help ,guess what,they told no overhand as we r private school.and threatened me if any thing my son did we will report in his file.my son is polite never hurt others and others mostly together against him as no punishment to what thier deeds.depending that they r protected by thier working teachers mother at school and other brothers at school as well.not to forget depending that no body from school will take an action against them.i tried to correct what they broke in my son,believing that Islamic school will follow the most right clear way,my son told me Mama they care about money,they protect the wrong,they accept lie,praying people should not be like that .i left school after long try of proving that right action should be taken but in Vain .my son went back public ,Iam advising everyone seeking Islamic school to be sure first about the administration office and management And what is the policy in case of bullying or other problems And plz stay away from Arabic owners
Any body wants more details Iam so wellcom to share
Excellent School. Great focused staff who take their job seriously and get engaged with the students and parents.
The management is dealing with all the kids and their parents as one big family. And when they find family isn't supportive or the kid has issues and the parents aren't willing to help. They take firm decisions to protect other kids. This is my 3rd year with them. They never look to money as the first concern. They have a message and they deliver it to the kids. All people in the school are respecting each other.
I strongly recommend this school. They help the kids to build their self confidence and direct them how to achieve their goals without fears.
For the academic level, they use extra materials and books to make sure the kids understanding the Ontario Curriculum.
A very nice warm welcoming staff and a awesome principle. With an approach of such respect, Al-Risala academy is a place of comfort. They have out standing teaching skills, and a variety of strategies to cope with students suffering academically and spiritually. A very nice school
Have two siblings in this school and can say as an expert in youth and society studies, this school provides great academical baseline and also focuses on the behavioural aspect by explaining and following Islamic teaching.
As a former teacher in several schools in the Arab countries and as a continuous member of the educational program today, I can confidently say that AL-Risala Academy has proven to be an aptly name. The owners of this school, since it opened, had a great goal and a true mission to raise a Muslim generation proud of their religion and values, able to live in Western society and integrate with it while maintaining their islamic entity. The school was able to achieve this with all merit. I am very proud of having my kids join the family of Al-Risala Academy and I wish this family continued success.
My wife and I were worried about the ramifications of the second wave of COVID 19. So, we decided to try the on-line program of Al-Risala Academy as we didn t have on-line schooling in our remote province. From the beginning, we were very impressed with the efficient communication. The principle and administration are very friendly and approachable even in the after-hours or during weekends! From the first day, our children loved the school environment and the culture and made friends The teachers are organized, keen, friendly yet strict. Many of them went above and beyond to help the children excel. They even formed WhatsApp groups for better communication with parents. All in all, we felt we are part of a big family and our children, believe it or not, enjoy the classes every day. Yes, I definitely recommend this school.
