DARUL ARQAM International School

About Us

Building a legacy of knowledge, faith, and action since our founding.

Our Story

Darul Arqam International School was established with a clear vision: to raise a generation of Muslims who are not only academically excellent but also firmly grounded in Islamic knowledge and practice.

Named after the historic Darul Arqom – the house of Al-Arqam ibn Abi Al-Arqam where the early Muslims gathered to learn from the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) — our school carries forward that noble legacy of combining knowledge with action.

Today, we serve students from Nursery through College, providing a comprehensive education that prepares them for success in this life and the hereafter.
