Our approach
Small classes, handpicked teachers and an Islamic identity woven through every lesson — the six things that make our approach different.
About us
We are not like any other school, and we never intend to be
A full online homeschool built on Islamic values and the British curriculum — for families who refuse to choose between their child's faith and their future.
وَلْتَكُن مِّنكُمْ أُمَّةٌۭ يَدْعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْخَيْرِ وَيَأْمُرُونَ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ ٱلْمُنكَرِ ۚ وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ
And let there be [arising] from you a nation inviting to [all that is] good, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong, and those will be the successful.
Why are we here?
A duty we take seriously
It is a duty upon us to invest in the education of our Muslim youth, and to act collectively as a community to nurture, develop and educate our young people — so that they are prepared for whatever challenges their futures may hold.
We are living in a challenging time, and it is crucial that our young people are intellectually, spiritually, mentally and emotionally prepared. It is up to us as a community to provide the right resources and environment to enable them to flourish regardless of the challenges and adversities they face, so that they can grow into the future leaders they are meant to be.

In their words
What our students say
My experience with The Forerunners Education has been absolutely fantastic. I really enjoy the trips they plan — they are fun and give you an opportunity to see your friends in real life, and they are engaging and educational too. For parents who want their children's education to revolve around Islam, this is the place to sign up: they build the whole school around Islam, starting from the timetable. The lunch break is long enough to pray Dhuhr and have lunch!
Studying at The Forerunners Education has been good, alhamdulillah. I have developed my knowledge in complex subjects like maths and science, as well as my knowledge of Islam. We have a combination of in-person and online trips and workshops, which makes it more sociable and exciting. The teachers give you the help and support you need, whether in your personal life or school life.
Alhamdulillah, my experience with The Forerunners has been very good! I have excelled in many subjects — science, maths, English, Qur'an and more. There are very few students in the class, which gives everyone the chance to ask questions freely and get more attention. The teachers have a wonderful and unique way of teaching that lets every student feel comfortable while learning at home.
Our mission requires a community effort
We will do our part in striving alongside your children to be amongst the forerunners in the work we do. Will you be part of our shared mission, and help drive it to success?
