A message from our founder

Director's welcome

Assalamu ʿalaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh — may Allah's peace and blessings be upon you.

Thank you for your interest in The Forerunners Education. It brings us great joy to have people like you, who recognise the importance of seeking and providing an excellent education for their children.

As a homeschool, we are blessed to have the opportunity to design a transformative educational experience that differs greatly from mainstream schooling. Over my six years working in schools and independently as a private tutor, I witnessed many critical gaps and shortfalls in state education. Along with a dedicated, hand-selected team, I am working to fill the gaps that exist in mainstream provision — and we work hard to ensure that what we provide for the families who choose us is special.

We are not simply a school that facilitates grades or certificates. We are seeking to revolutionise the learning of our students, so that knowledge at The Forerunners Education represents a way of life, not a set of numbers or qualifications. Our mission is reflected in our co-curricular approach, which supplements secular and Islamic studies with character-building experiences: leadership, community service, exposure to the professional world, real-life engagement with their learning, and much more.

Our international connections and perspectives are key components in our recipe for a well-rounded education — one that nurtures open-minded children who can independently think outside the box.

Our vision is that our students leave us as visionaries who strive to leave a legacy wherever in the world they may end up. We look forward to working with you, hand in hand, to revolutionise not only your child's education but the future legacy they have the potential to leave behind.
