    Empowering Hamilton’s Muslim Community – Greenhill Islamic School

    The Growing Need for Islamic Education

    Hamilton’s Muslim community is experiencing rapid growth, now numbering nearly 50,000 individuals, with a third following the Ahlulbayt path. Despite this significant population, there is a pressing need for educational institutions that cater specifically to the community’s religious and cultural requirements. Greenhill Islamic School aims to fill this gap by offering a dual-track curriculum that challenges and rewards students in both religious and secular subjects.

    Benefits of Greenhill Islamic School

    • Language Learning: The school offers Arabic as a second language, enhancing cognitive and academic development.
    • Islamic Community: Students have the opportunity to interact with peers who share similar backgrounds and values, fostering strong relationships and a sense of belonging.

    About Greenhill Islamic School

    Greenhill Islamic School is dedicated to providing a comprehensive education that integrates both religious and secular studies, aiming to empower students with a strong foundation for their future. Located at 50 Greenhill Ave, Hamilton, Ontario, the school is situated on a 1.45-acre property featuring a 17,500 sq. ft. building. Upon completion of planned renovations, the facility will include 10 classrooms, a gym, a prayer hall, computer and science labs, a teachers’ lounge, and an outdoor playground. There is also space allocated for future expansion with portable classrooms.

    Greenhill Islamic School represents a significant step forward for the Muslim community in Hamilton, providing children with an education that honors their faith and heritage while preparing them for future success.
