FAQ’s

New student enrollment is done in the following order of priority:

    • Siblings of current AHES students
    • Al Huda Institute and Elementary School staff
    • Re-enrollment / Re-registrant
    • New families

Students who have met all of the criteria for admission into the school will be placed on a sequential waiting list (based on the order in which the application was received) should spots not be available in the class to which they are applying. As soon as a spot is available, you will be notified and will have one week to make the necessary fee payment to secure your spot for the following year.

Should you chose to withdraw your child, after having remitted the Required Fees (see above), please note that all fees paid are non-refundable. If for any reason you decide to withdraw your child before June 30th, you may be entitled to a refund of the materials and supply fees. Please note that in case of a withdrawal after June 30th, there is no claim to any supplies or books that the child would have used/received if they had stayed at AHES.

All students at AHES are required to wear full proper uniform daily.

We do not offer any bus transportation to our students. We may facilitate carpool service after the admission.

To enroll in the hifdh program, a student must first secure admission to AHES. A prospective hifdh student will be subsequently tested for the hifdh program. Admission to AHES does not guarantee a spot in the hifdh program, however, a student cannot be admitted to the hifdh program without first meeting the entry requirements at AHES. 

AHES provides our students with all the materials and supplies they require in the classroom such as pens, pencils, markers, folders, photocopies, arts and crafts, textbooks, notebooks, etc., which are both consumable and non-consumable. This fee also supports subscription-based digital resources, and resources for student learning (such as software for literacy and numeracy diagnostics, or software to detect plagiarism/AI content).

Field trips are an important part of the enrichment of education at AHES. Student tuition covers some trips completely, while others are partially subsidized by the school.
