“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

– Nelson Mandela

Tenacious Elementary uses the theme of the week for preschool and the theme of the unit philosophy for school-aged children to introduce vocabulary, writing, phonics, comprehension, literacy, critical thinking, and creativity. Character education, problem-solving and public speaking is embedded into our curriculum each day through stories, show-and-tell and role-play.
 
Tenacious School brings the Quran to life by showing students the meaning of each surah in a kid-friendly manner. We focus on the miracles of Allah in order for children to develop love and respect for our creator and to understand why the Quran is so special and unique. We model prophetic-like character in our Islamic Studies program through inspirational storytelling of the prophets and the sahaba.

Students reflect on their learning daily through a series of review drills that meet all learning styles. Students are exposed to auditory, verbal, artistic, visual, musical, and kinesthetic activities to make sure they have every opportunity to reach their full academic and social potentials and achieve mastery.
