Abraar Secondary School

What Abraar Secondary School does

Abraar Secondary School is a private Islamic school located at 1085 Grenon Avenue in Ottawa, Ontario, serving students in grades 7 through 12. It is registered with the Ontario Ministry of Education and operates under the Muslim Association of Canada (MAC), a national faith-based organization that runs a network of 40 schools. The school delivers an Ontario-accredited academic curriculum integrated with Quran memorization, Arabic language instruction, Islamic Studies, and a character-development program branded as iRISE Tarbiyyah. It complements the academic core with a Middle School program (grades 7-8), a High School program (grades 9-12), a licensed Preschool & Childcare program operating under the Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) framework, the MAC Youth Centre for recreational and spiritual activities, and enrichment programs including the Enrichment Mini-Courses Program (EMCP) at Carleton University and the University of Ottawa. The school reports a 100% post-secondary acceptance rate since launching its Grade 12 program in 2019-2020.

The school's revenue model is built on annual tuition fees of $6,880 for grades 7-8 and $7,200 for grades 9-12, supplemented by a $600 ancillary fee and a one-time $100 registration fee, with sibling discounts under the MAC National School Board Discount Policy and needs-based support via the MAC Education Fund. Distribution is community-driven: admissions run through the MACSIS online portal and word-of-mouth within Ottawa's Muslim community, supported by a presence on Facebook, Instagram, X, and YouTube. Operationally, the school relies on third-party educational platforms (Google Classroom, IXL, Reading Eggs, ClassDojo), partners with the adjacent Ron Kolbus Clubhouse (Boys & Girls Club) for swimming and physical education, and conducts annual fundraising campaigns (currently targeting $150,000 for facility and technology upgrades). Leadership includes Principal Ahmed Alroz, Vice Principal Rana Kais, and a teaching and administrative staff of approximately 14, covering Math, Science, Arabic, Islamic Studies, English, Social Sciences, Technology, and French.
