About Us

PRINCIPAL'S WELCOME

It is my pleasure to welcome you to Furqaan Academy for grades Pre-K to 12th. For over 14 years, our school has been committed to answering a fundamental question: “What matters most when educating your child/children at Furqaan?”

Continually refining our answer to that question has helped us to grow and evolve with purpose and passion. Both are visible everywhere when you visit our campus or see our program in action, which is, focus on memorizing the Quran and our integrated Hifz program for our young children, along with full time academic school for all.

We have the freedom to develop a modern and remarkable curriculum that is not only exceptional academically, but also Islamically. Furqaan responds to what the world needs now more than ever – respect, discipline, compassion, generosity, grace, intention, justice, and hope. As a result, our students enjoy the experience, are confident and competent. Also, they recognize a world beyond their own needs.

Our school culture demands that our students, teachers, and families be ever mindful of their role in setting and reaching goals. Our students and teachers pose questions and ideas that provoke and inspire deep understanding and tangible growth.

We will continue to focus on our every student, in every classroom, and everyday approach to ensure that all Furqaan Academy students have the world-class education they deserve Islamically and academically.

Please join Furqaan!

Respectfully,
Ms. Nazia M. Jalali, M.Ed.
Principal

WHO ARE WE?

Furqaan Academy Bolingbrook, founded in 2008, is a Pre-K – 12th Full-Time Islamic School with Integrated and Full-Time Hifdh. Our vision is to raise good Muslim citizens who are strong in faith, well-grounded in the Quranic knowledge, and have a strong foundation in academics.

Furqaan Academy is the manifestation of the founder’s, Wajahat Sayeed of Al-Furqaan Foundation, vision to develop students who are grounded in the Quran – a Quranic generation. As an organization devoted to the service of the Quran in the west, the Foundation wants to ensure that the upcoming generations will come closer to the Quran by understanding its language and by proper training of implementing the Quran and Sunnah in their daily lives. The choice of being a Muslim should be a natural choice, due to their understanding of the deen and not merely as a virtue of being born in the faith.

So far my son has been going to Furqaan Academy for 2 years (Pre-K and KG). He loves going to school everyday. Over the year they have made improvements to the facility and their administration. I am completely content with how the school is run. My interactions with every staff member have been pleasant. They are nice and accommodating and most of all they love the children. In this day and age, I think this is the best investment we can make for our youth by giving them a strong Islamic foundation. My son has learned a lot and is memorizing short Surahs and enjoys reciting. Their balance between Islamic studies and the rest of the subjects for these young grades is good and I look forward to what my son learns next.

Masha Allah an excellent Islamic education institution for parents who want their kids to prioritize a Quran centric Islamic education immersed in learning the Arabic language that will help students love the Quran through understanding and memorizing of it, without compromising academics needed for higher education. The teachers are experienced in their field and are dedicated to the teaching institution and the student’s education. There is always room to improve at Furqan like other Islamic schools but so far we have been very satisfied with the achievements of our kids Alhamdulillah.The kids love going to Furqan. Thank you Furqan!

My daughter is attending Furqaan Academy for 3 months now. She is in Pre-K and absolutely loves her school and teachers. She has learned so much in a short amount of time. They have a great curriculum and the teachers and staff are very friendly and amazing.
Furqaan Yousuf
My daughter's been going to Furqaan Academy since the past 3 years and I am very content with the Quranic and Arabic education she has received. She loves coming here everyday. Her teachers are friendly and cooperative. The Management is good and always striving to achieve the best for its school and students. The newly built classrooms are a must see!

We are very happy with our decision to send our young children to Furqaan Academy. The community is very friendly and welcoming. We appreciate the balance and focus of Islamic education/Arabic/Quran and traditional secular subjects. Our children have learned so much in just the first half of the year (reading, math, Arabic vocab, surahs from the Quran), and they love going to school. We also appreciate the dedicated and thoughtful principal and teachers very much--who go above and beyond for a small school. One teacher is raising funds for a smart board to build more technology and learning in the curriculum. The new principal is very organized and has several important initiatives that we look forward to (adding a playground, building a healthy student body physically, socially and emotionally, having parents more involved in children's learning and development). Alhumdullilah we are blessed to have Furqaan Academy and encourage the wider community to support Islamic schools for the betterment of our children's future in sha Allah.

A child's education and tarbiyah starts at home. After home, as the child continues on to school, the environment that a child has is equally as important. Seven to eight hours of my children's waking hours will be spent in school. Allah has blessed us with Furqaan Academy, which has provided my children with an Islamic environment that I feel is an extension of our home. I am eternally grateful to all the teachers and staff at Furqaan Academy who are helping shape my children into good, sound, and well-educated Muslimahs. Thank you!
Amina Baloch
Furqaan Academy is a school where the teachers really care about their students. I am especially thankful for the principal, Mrs. Haiat Bousmaha. Her years of experience and dedication to the children are just what this school needs to continue to grow and excel. It is comforting for us to know that she feels proud to be a Muslim and is developing friendships with other Muslim children who share our values. This is a gift from Furqaan Academy to my family. My daughter loves it because “Everyday I get to learn something new. All the classes are my favorite.” Thank you, Furqaan Academy for welcoming us into your family.
Dr. & Mrs. N. F. Jabbar
My kids joined Furqaan Academy in its first year after transferring from another Islamic School. With all respects for other Islamic Schools in the Chicago-land area, I have found Furqaan Academy the most dedicated in regards to teaching the Arabic language, Quraan memorization, and Islamic knowledge alongside their outstanding performance in the other subjects. I have third and fourth grader, they can read from any Surah without help. Alhamdulillah, they can read and write arabic very well.
