A Muslim school does not stand apart from its community’s masjid. The Islamic Center of Little Rock, known locally as ICLR, is the first partner the school names, and the link between them shows up in the school day itself.

The clearest example is prayer. The school keeps its prayer times in step with ICLR, so the prayer times children keep at school match the times kept at ICLR.

That matters for families. It means one set of times at school and at the masjid, and a school that sees itself as part of the Muslim life of the city rather than separate from it. At school, students from Grade 1 up pray Dhuhr together, older students mentor younger ones during salah, and on Fridays an older student gives the khutbah.

The school will confirm

What else the partnership with ICLR involves, for example shared events, programs, facilities or teachers, so this section can describe it in full.

District and university

The school district and the university, each with a role.

Two of the school’s partners are public institutions in Little Rock. One helps children get specialist support; the other helps teachers train and grow, and gives older students a start on college.

Little Rock School District

A route to speech, OT and PT.

Because the school is affiliated with the Little Rock School District, speech therapy, occupational therapy and physical therapy can be provided to students through the district, depending on its openings for supporting students outside its own schools.

When the district has no opening, families usually arrange these therapies privately and bill their insurance. A family can ask its provider whether a therapist would come to school to work with their child; the family pays for that support, and the therapist needs the administration’s approval to provide it at school.

The Student Services page explains the rest of the help the school gives.
