Islamic schools

Quranic education centers

Islamic schools are educational institutions where Muslim students learn religious subjects alongside or instead of secular curriculum.

In Muslim-majority countries, these range from elementary schools to universities.

In Western contexts, Islamic schools typically combine standard academic subjects with Quranic study, Arabic, and Islamic values.

The term sometimes refers specifically to madrasas—traditional schools focused on religious instruction.
