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.

We teach our students not just to know, but to do — to embody the values they learn, serve their communities, and become beacons of excellence wherever they go.
