Our school provides a supportive and inclusive learning environment where students are encouraged to achieve academic excellence while developing strong moral character. We focus on nurturing respect, responsibility, and lifelong learning, helping students become confident and compassionate members of society.
The Islamic School of Canberra exists to provide a learning environment where Islamic belief and practice are woven through everyday school life.
As part of Canberra’s independent school network, ISC collaborates with the Association of Independent Schools of the ACT to continually strengthen governance, teaching practice, and student wellbeing.
The story of ISC is one of community spirit and dedication. Founded to serve the needs of Muslim families in the ACT, the school has become a second home for generations of students. Over the years, we have built a legacy of inclusivity and resilience, ensuring that our students graduate not only with strong academic results but also with a clear understanding of their heritage and their role in wider Australian society.
Students follow the Australian curriculum in core learning areas, complemented by Islamic studies, Qur'an, Arabic language, and values education that emphasises character, integrity, and service.
Facilities and programs continue to grow, providing improved learning spaces, technology, and resources. Classrooms are structured to support focus, wellbeing, and a strong sense of belonging.
ISC has continued to strengthen its governance and financial management in line with government requirements, with a clear focus on transparency, accountability, and the long-term sustainability of the school for current and future families.
