At NAFIS Boston Center Sunday School, our primary goal is to impart a strong Islamic identity to our youth and complement their regular education to build a strong community for the next generation. Our community is very diverse in terms of national origin, ethnicity, culture, and theology. Our curriculum aims to impart an authentic introduction to Islam, drawing on materials that are contemporary as well as historical. The academic objective of the Sunday School is to introduce and instill the main teachings of Islam into our students by the time they are ready to enter high school, and enable them to live Islam.
