What Al-Faisal College. Reserved does

Al-Faisal College is an independent co-educational K-12 school network operating across three active campuses in Sydney, Australia (Auburn, established 1998; Campbelltown, opened 2013; Liverpool, opened 2014/2015), with a fourth campus at Lakemba planned. The institution delivers the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) curriculum integrated with Arabic Language instruction and Islamic Studies from Kindergarten through Year 12, serving Muslim families seeking faith-based education that combines academic rigour with cultural and spiritual development. The college reports top-tier academic outcomes, including 15th-26th NSW HSC state rankings, a perfect 99.95 ATAR, NAPLAN results above national average, and subject-first rankings in Arabic Continuers and Mathematics Extension.

The core technology stack comprises Interactive Whiteboards in every classroom, dedicated computer labs, and a STEM program running from Kindergarten using consumer educational software (Minecraft Education, TinkerCAD for 3D printing, Scratch coding, Arduino, Wix web design, Duolingo). Supplemental programs include intensive phonics (Get Reading Right, Minilit/Multilit), Learning Enrichment and Support (Bridges, Corrective Reading), VET Hospitality (Cert II/III in Kitchen and Catering Operations) delivered through an on-campus Trade Skills Centre, and academic scholarships for Years 7-11.

The business model is tuition-funded via a published School Fees Schedule (amounts undisclosed), distributed through direct on-campus enrolment across the multi-campus network. Marketing relies on the school website, campus-specific email newsletters, annual community events, and interfaith engagement (NSW Jewish Board of Deputies RUA workshops, Vatican Pontifical Council visits). Ownership is family/community-based — co-founders Mr. Shafiq Khan (Managing Director) and Mrs. Ghazwa Adra Khan (Executive Principal), with Mrs. Safia Khan Hassanein serving as Executive Principal across all campuses — with no disclosed institutional investor or public listing.
