The dilemma
Are you trying to do what is best for your child but feel stuck?
You may be trying to make the best decision for your child, but you feel stuck between two difficult choices.
On the other
Some Islamic options
Faith at the centre — but lacking the structure, quality or outcomes you know your child is capable of.
This leaves you feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, and carrying the weight of making the right decision alone.
“You no longer have to choose between your child’s education and their Deen.”

The difference
What makes The Forerunners different?
This is not just about lessons and passing assessments. It is about nurturing the whole child.
Faith integrated into everything01
The Forerunners Education is a global online homeschool, founded on the commitment to embody the verses of the forerunners in the Qur'an — in our ethos and in every service we provide.
Our focus on Islamic ethos and education sets your child up for success and prepares them for the challenges along the way. With up-to-date technology, subject-specialist teachers and a well-rounded, engaging curriculum, your child will thrive and become a future leader of our community.
Structured, yet flexible02
We provide clear structure while allowing space for family life, personal growth and flexibility.
Tailored learning03
We transform the learning of our global community of young people through a tailored educational experience.
Whatever your child's level when they join us, we meet them where they are — without restricting them by age or background — and support their individual journey.
A mentorship-focused approach04
We prioritise guidance, character development, and nurturing confident young Muslims.
Personal, spiritual and character development is integrated into our teaching of the British National Curriculum, offering a holistic and transformative experience children can access from the comfort of home — or wherever they are in the world.
Real community and connection05
Through regular in-person initiatives, students — and their parents — build friendships, confidence and a genuine sense of belonging.
Built from real experience06
Our system was created from a solid balance of lived and professional experience, with genuine care, intention and understanding of what families truly need.
In their words
Parents, teachers and students
I would highly recommend The Forerunners Education. Both my girls genuinely love every moment of their school day. The teachers are absolutely wonderful — encouraging, supportive, and they make sure to incorporate Islamic teachings into all their lessons. My children have really grown in confidence since joining.
My experience has been full of respect and tranquility. The sense of support and collaboration fostered by the leadership team creates a positive teaching and learning experience. You will certainly feel safe with The Forerunners.
It has enabled me to learn much quicker. For parents who want their children's education to revolve around Islam, The Forerunners Education is the place — they revolve the whole school around Islam, starting from the timetable. The lunch break is long enough to pray Dhuhr and have lunch too!
They keep learning simple, which gives everyone an opportunity to learn at the same pace. The teachers have a wonderful and unique way of teaching that allows every student to feel comfortable while learning at home.
