Islam classes for kids NZ at Islamic Studies for Kids Academy cover four subject areas. Entry point is confirmed at the free trial through direct tutor assessment rather than age, year level, or prior madrasah attendance.
A student at an Auckland Islamic school described growing up asking what it means to be a young Muslim in New Zealand and how to live according to religious teachings in an environment that does not understand them. The Aqeedah module covers Tawheed, the six pillars of Iman, and the basis for Islamic belief in English, equipping children to answer that question from knowledge. This module is part of the full Islamic Studies Course for Kids in New Zealand or available as a standalone Aqeedah programme.
Correct Wudu, the conditions and pillars of Salah, and Sawm rulings are covered with application to what New Zealand Muslim children encounter at state schools: halal food at camp, prayer during school excursions, and fasting during the academic term. Tutors verify whether current practice reflects authenticated rulings. This module is part of the full programme or enrollable as a standalone Fiqh track at Islamic Studies for Kids Academy.
Learn Islam for kids New Zealand at this Quran module covering Noorani Qaida for non-readers, Tajweed correction for those reciting with errors, and Tafseer of the Surahs recited in Salah.

Islamic Studies for Kids Academy delivers this through Al-Azhar certified tutors in private English-medium sessions. Part of the full programme or enrollable as a standalone Quran track.
The Seerah module covers how the early Muslim community maintained faith, dignity, and cohesion through sustained hostility without losing their identity. Tutors connect those Prophetic lessons directly to what New Zealand Muslim children experience in state schools and public spaces today. Part of the full Islamic Studies Course for Kids in New Zealand or enrollable as a standalone Seerah programme.
Outcomes
Aqeedah module graduates explain Tawheed, the six pillars of Iman, and the basis of Islamic belief in English without relying on phrases they cannot expand under questioning from classmates or teachers. A New Zealand Muslim child who holds Aqeedah from verified knowledge rather than cultural familiarity carries their identity with certainty in a state school environment that offers no Islamic framework of its own. Islamic Studies for Kids Academy confirms this through direct questioning before the module closes.
Fiqh module graduates perform Wudu and Salah correctly according to authenticated rulings and identify the applicable Fiqh position for situations they encounter at New Zealand state schools without requiring parental guidance for each scenario. Assessment at Islamic Studies for Kids Academy uses three real NZ school situations. A child who answers each one from verified Islamic knowledge has met the module completion standard before the written report is issued to parents.
Quran module graduates recite Juz Amma with Tajweed applied on any tested Surah and explain the meaning of Al-Fatiha and the Tashahhud in English without a translation in front of them. New Zealand's mosque madrasah network varies enormously in Quran instruction quality. Islamic Studies for Kids Academy delivers this through Al-Azhar certified tutors privately in English, producing recitation outcomes that mosque-based group classes of variable quality cannot consistently guarantee.
Seerah module graduates connect a studied Prophetic event to a real situation they have experienced in their New Zealand school or community setting, articulating the lesson in their own words rather than repeating a phrase from the session. Assessment presents one Prophetic event and asks the child to describe a NZ situation where that lesson applies. A personal example from their own experience confirms completion. A generic answer prompts further sessions before the Seerah module closes at Islamic Studies for Kids Academy.
Parents across Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch report children initiating Salah independently, engaging with Quran recitation at home, and discussing Islamic topics from knowledge rather than cultural habit. Final reports at Islamic Studies for Kids Academy document performance across all four modules and confirm readiness for Hifz, advanced Tajweed, or deeper Tafseer as the child's verified next step in Islamic education.

Real transformations from students who mastered the Quran with our courses
I took a course at Shaykhi Academy, and my name is Hamza Osama from England. During my time there, I learned the Arabic alphabet and Tajweed rules. I have also successfully memorized approximately two Juz of the Quran. My teacher was the best, and I feel I benefited a lot from him. I would advise anyone who wants to learn the Arabic language, Tajweed rules, or the Quran to join Shaykhi Academy.
I took a class at Shaykhi Academy with Mr. Luqman, and I had a lot of fun learning with him. I even got the chance to meet him in Egypt! I learned a lot from my time with him, including Tajweed, Tahweed, Arabic reading, and Quran. I've been learning with him for about a year now. Thank you for your time.
I’m Yahia Sarhan, I’m 15 years old and I’m from Canada. I’ve been a student at Shaykhi Academy since 2019, so about three or four years now. It’s been a great learning opportunity for me and I’ve learned a lot about Islamic studies, the Quran, and Arabic reading. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who’s trying to learn.
