Tarbiyah Elementary School (TES) is a full-time Islamic school, located in Milton, Ontario. We are dedicated to nurturing our students with Islamic and innovative educational methods, while helping to mold them to be noble individuals spiritually, morally, and ethically, guiding them to academic excellence, and strong leadership abilities.

Established in 2013, Tarbiyah Elementary is the first Ontario Certified School in Milton. Our goal is to instill love for learning and for Islam, as a way of life. We believe Allaah Subhanuhu wa Ta’ala has created us with, and granted us wonderful faculties and capabilities and we need to utilize them to their maximum potential. It is our mission to bring out the best of these abilities in our students. Our staff and teachers are committed to help our students excel in their abilities in a loving, dynamic and fun way. We believe in it is our responsibility as Muslims to provide our youth with Islamic knowledge in order to help build our future Ummah.

Our qualified administrators and teachers work hard at instilling strong Islamic values according to Quran and Sunnah teachings, highest morals and academic standards.

To continue to succeed, it is our belief that we must keep an open communication with administrators, teachers, parents and the community, concerning the progression of students and the school.

Our ultimate goal is to prepare our students for success in this world and to achieve the best in the hereafter, insha Allaah.

Integrity: Honesty, reliability and moral action are embodied in the ethical standard of Integrity. Our continual reflection assists us in exercising integrity in our professional commitments and responsibilities.

When something weighs on your conscience, give it up.

Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.

Sincerity: As servants of our Lord, we must perform our actions with a clean and sincere niyyah (intention) to please our Lord and Him alone.  We must consistently renew this intention and maintain it sincere in order for our deeds to be accepted.

“Your Lord knows best what is in your selves.” (17:25)

Love and Respect: The ethical standard of Love includes care, kindness, acceptance, interest and insight for developing students’ potential. We must express our commitment to students’ well-being and learning through positive influence, professional judgment and empathy in practice. We must not only love and respect each other in every aspect but also love and respect what we do.

The Prophet Muhammad (saw) said, “None of you truly believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself.”

Atmosphere:  We must commit ourselves in providing the highest standard of academic education in a healthy Islamic atmosphere in which the core fundamentals and values of Islam are embedded in ways that are fun and practical.

We must value our students and set and meet ongoing personal and academic goals.
