INTRODUCTION
With the grace of Allah (swt), Mercy School was founded in 1999.
It is located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, next to the beautiful
Masjid An-Nasr.
(The Muslim community in OKC comprises of almost 5000 plus Muslims)
Initially Mercy School offered education from grades Pre-K3 to 4th
grade and now offers grades Pre-K3 to 6th grade. We have a very
professional team of qualified and dedicated Muslim teachers and
staff.

youth who will draw upon the Quran and Sunnah to achieve moral,
spiritual, and material excellence in all fields of endeavor. To

yet reflective, open-minded yet principled, motivated yet focused,
and progressive yet aware.

CURRICULUM
Mercy School is committed to the education of the whole child and
to instill in each of its students the principles of submission
to the Will of Allah (swt) as the essential element in achieving
human excellence. The goal is to preserve the Muslim character and
to develop spirituality, self-worth, self-discipline, self-actualization,
independence, ethical and moral values, love of learning, acquiring
knowledge and service.
Mercy School is dedicated to providing our Muslim children with
a learning environment of the highest caliber. Academic excellence
is stressed within an Islamic atmosphere. The educational program
aims to meet not only the physical, emotional and educational needs
of our children, but their spiritual needs as well. The further
objective of the school is to provide bilingual education for effective
understanding of Islamic sources in the Arabic Language.
The educational program of MS follows the curriculum set by the
State of Oklahoma and uses high quality text books. This basic program
is expanded and enriched at every level enriching the student with
exceptional learning opportunities. Qur'an, Arabic and Islam are
major academic subjects and are presented in sequential manner beginning
in Preschool up through all grade levels. Primary focus on all levels
is building English and Arabic vocabulary. All grade levels emphasize
the cognitive, social, physical, and emotional development of the
child. For the physical development of its students, Mercy offers
an excellent PE program in Tae Kwon Do.
TEACHERS CHOICE
As a parent myself, I know we all want the best for our children.
I have been teaching 1st grade in public school for more than ten
years and when I heard about the opening of Mercy School I could
not praise Allah enough for this blessing.
I quit teaching in the public school and have been at Mercy
School since its inaugural year in 1999. There is no amount of money
that could be offered to me where I would go back to teaching Public
School! Why? Because Allah has answered a prayer Ive prayed for
many years and that is to have an Islamic School.
There are many problems that face a child just by being in a
public school setting: violence, weapons, sexual activity, etc.
Allahu Akbar! You will not find any of these things at Mercy School.
Your child will leave you daily coming to a safe, Islamic environment,
where he/she can concentrate on his/her studies. And you will be
able to leave your child with peace of mind. We have the best curriculum
and environment. The BEST CHOICE for your child is MERCY SCHOOL!
