About Saturday
School Program

Al-Minhal Academy’s Saturday School Program is designed to inspire young minds with a blend of knowledge, creativity, and spirituality. Students explore the Arabic language, Quranic studies, Islamic teachings, and arts and crafts, encouraging both academic and personal growth.

Our comprehensive approach includes exciting field trips that take learning beyond the classroom. These trips help children connect their education to real-world experiences while building a strong sense of community and faith.
The program runs every Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. To get started, a registration fee of $50 per child is required, which will open the door to this wonderful and meaningful educational journey.
