ADMISSIONS & REGISTRATIONYOUTH & FAMILY ADULT LEARNERS ASSESSMENT PLACEMENT ENROLLMENT
Begin Your Learning Journey
Sabilou Rachad welcomes youth, families, and adult learners. Choose the registration path that applies to you, and our team will guide each learner through the appropriate review, assessment, and placement process.
For Parents & Guardians
Register your family, add each child, provide their learning background, and complete the required family information. Every student is assessed before final level placement.
Adult Learner Registration
Adults age 18 or older can register themselves for Quran, Arabic, Islamic Studies, and other available learning opportunities. Assessment is used when level placement is needed.
Determine the Right Starting Point
Learners who require level placement are evaluated so that instruction begins at an appropriate level rather than being based only on previous experience.
Learning Level Assigned
The education team reviews the registration and assessment information and assigns the appropriate learning level or program.
Complete Enrollment
After the applicable review, assessment, placement, and remaining enrollment requirements are completed, enrollment can be finalized.
Learning placement is based on readiness and assessment.
Youth students do not select their own Quran level during registration. Every youth student completes an Arabic and Quran reading assessment before placement. Adult learners are also assessed when level placement is needed.
