We have 3 graduates and one current student in the school, mashaAllah. This has been a "God sent" to us. We fully believe in "It takes a village to raise a kid." Al-Amal school has been our village for 17 years or so. MashaAllah, our kids are doing well and we could not have asked for better. Over the last 17 years of being with the school, we have not regretted a single penny spent on tuition and fees, or a single minutes spent in driving to and from the school. At times we look at same age youth of our kids, and we thank Allah for Al-Amal School. Jazakumullahu khairan. Keep up the good work.
