It is our pleasure to welcome you to Salam School. Our vision is to provide our children with a quality Islamic education. We are determined, with Allah’s help and your support, to have a model school that will become an example of a quality Islamic School of which all of us will be proud. We believe our school’s mission is crucial to the growth of Islam, especially in the development of our “Future Leaders” and the continuity of our traditions.
Salam School, supported by the Islamic Society of Milwaukee, is designed to provide our children with high quality facilities and an excellent educational environment. The children attending this school will receive stellar academic and Islamic education, enjoy the love and care of the Salam staff, and experience a positive upbringing in an Islamic environment.
This handbook will serve as a road map to the school. It contains general information and important rules that govern our school. We use the language of rules and regulations in the context of mutual concern. The handbook becomes a realization of our relationships and responsibilities that are carried out in our school community. As the school continues to grow, changes and updates to the school rules noted in this handbook are made and sent directly to each family.
As educators, we hold the vision of our world united in harmony, with each individual living life to his/her fullest. Salam School is where we begin.

The Program

Salam School dedicates itself to quality academic education in an Islamic environment. Our school helps shape the children’s ideas about themselves, their religion, their country, their culture, and the world. It helps preserve their American Muslim identity, gives structure, and meaning to basic knowledge and encourages our children to develop a love for lifelong learning. Our school’s mission is crucial to the growth of Islam, especially in the development of our “Future Leaders” and continuity of our traditions. The program will make sure all students succeed and feel good about themselves. It will have an available staff member to oversee IEP and work one on one or in small groups with these students. She or he will help the teacher modify the curriculum for the student so he/she will be able to reach their own developmental potential.

Philosophy

Boys and girls are Allah’s trustees on earth, endowed with a soul, free will and intelligence. By Allah’s mercy, we are call to seek inward and outward peace through submission to His will. Our submission is not limited to acts of worship performed solely for Allah, but involves relationship with all creation and thus all humanity.
We, therefore, are commanded to use our intelligence to study and ponder creation with all of its complexity and beauty and to educate all persons, starting with ourselves, about the message of Allah, the oneness of humanity, respect for self, others and accountability for our actions.
