ICCD Weekend School (WES)
For more than three decades, the ICCD Weekend School (WES) has provided Islamic education in a positive, nurturing environment for public‑school students. Our mission is to help children grow into well‑rounded, confident contributors and role models as Muslims in American society.
WES operates from mid‑September through mid‑June, with closures for at least one weekend during each of the two Eid holidays. Enrollment currently exceeds 100 students. We maintain a strong curriculum, offer high‑quality textbooks and workbooks, and select qualified teachers dedicated to student success.
For information about tuition, the one‑time non‑refundable registration fee, and book costs, please contact the Weekend School Principal. Please bring two separate checks—one for tuition and one for books. All checks should be made payable to “ICCD Weekend School” with a memo indicating Tuition or Books.
