The Al-Bayaan Curriculum
Three subjects. One educational journey.
Our curriculum has been designed to help children recite the Qur'an, understand their religion and access the language of revelation — while developing the character and confidence to live what they learn.
Recite • Perfect • Memorise
The Qur'an is at the heart of Al-Bayaan Academy.
Every Saturday morning is dedicated to Qur'an learning. Students are grouped according to their individual Qur'an ability and work through a structured pathway designed to develop confident, accurate and independent recitation.
Arabic Reading Foundations
Building confident recognition and pronunciation of Arabic letters, words and Qur'anic text.
Recitation
Developing accuracy, fluency and confidence when reading the Qur'an.
Tajwīd
Learning correct pronunciation and gradually applying the rules of Tajwīd.
Memorisation
Students memorise according to their individual ability and teacher targets.
Revision & Retention
Previously memorised Qur'an is continually reviewed so that students retain what they have learnt rather than simply moving forward.
“Every child has individual Qur'an targets.”
Our goal is for every student to develop a lifelong relationship with the Book of Allah.
