Values that stay for life
November 18, 2025
Building strong values in early childhood education
At Dar‑e‑Arqam Schools we believe that education begins with values. Our vision — excellence in this world and the world hereafter — places moral and spiritual training alongside academic learning, in the blend we describe as modern education with an Islamic perspective. The early years are where that blend takes root, in the small habits of honesty, courtesy and respect that children carry long after they leave our classrooms.
Our mission commits us to groom the personality of every student and to inculcate a sense of responsibility, confidence, commitment and dedication towards society. In our Play Group, Nursery and PREP classes this is not taught as a separate subject. It is the atmosphere of the room: how a teacher greets a child, how a story is told, how a borrowed toy is returned, how a mistake is corrected without making anyone small.
Where manners, meaning and confidence grow together
Our teachers present themselves as role models — an embodiment of morality, manner and style — and are trained to notice the teachable moment. A greeting at the door, a word of thanks after help, a quiet correction offered privately: each is a lesson in the values at the centre of Dar‑e‑Arqam Schools.
Faith gives those values their foundation. Hazrat Arqam Bin Arqam’s house in the plains of Koh-e-Safa was the first educational centre of Islam, and this institution takes its name from it. The Holy Quran and Sunnah sit beside the modern curriculum, and Nazra Quran is compulsory for every student. Across the network, more than 38,000 Huffaz have completed memorisation of the Quran through our optional Hifz programme.
The values we nurture from the first day
- Commitment —children learn to finish what they begin, from returning a work tray to completing a drawing.
- Respect —teachers model courteous speech, and children practise it with classmates, staff and visitors.
- Honesty and courage —storytelling and circle time give children the words to tell the truth and to try again.
- Responsibility —small classroom duties help every child see that others depend on them.
A partnership with parents
Values hold firmest when home and school say the same thing. Our Parents Teachers Association meets on the last Saturday of every month, giving teachers and parents a regular space to discuss a child’s progress and conduct. In 700+ branches across 150+ cities, that partnership is part of the programme rather than an afterthought.
If you would like to see how these values are taught in practice, visit your nearest Dar‑e‑Arqam Schools campus or call our head office on +92 (42) 111-111-896. We would be glad to show you a pre-school classroom at work.
