Founded on Islamic principles, Al-Amal Academy has always embraced a faith-first approach to teaching and learning, where the pursuit of knowledge is guided by the light of the Qur’an and Sunnah. As the Prophet ﷺ said, 'Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim', reminding us that education is both a right and a responsibility. We strive to nurture minds and hearts, inspiring our students to excel academically while remaining firmly rooted in their faith. This year, we continue to focus on holistic development supporting not only academic achievement but also emotional and spiritual well-being. Our classrooms are structured, consistent, and engaging, with teaching practices grounded in patience, enthusiasm, and positive reinforcement.

We are incredibly proud of our dedicated team of teachers and support staff. Their compassion, professionalism, and tireless efforts are the heart of our school. Whether through thoughtful lesson planning, warm greetings, or mentoring students, our staff plays a vital role in shaping a positive and enriching learning experience for every child. We would also like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Syed Raza, who served as principal with dedication, hardwork and a vision to make Al-Amal Academy the best Islamic School in Calgary. His leadership has left a lasting impact on our school community, and we are thankful for the many ways he helped shape Al-Amal Academy into the nurturing and academically strong institution it is today. We wish him continued success as the associate superintendent of Prairie Land School Division.

We extend our sincere appreciation to our Board of Trustees, the Pen and Paper Foundation, and the Prairie Land School Division for their unwavering support and guidance. Their collective commitment to our mission ensures that Al-Amal Academy continues to grow as a center of excellence in faith-based education. Their leadership and resources empower us to provide high-quality learning experiences, foster innovation, and uphold the values that define our school community.


Thank you for your trust, your support, and your active involvement in our school. We look forward to a joyful, enriching, and successful school year together In Shaa Allah.
