MCNA Weekend Schools
About Us
Muslim Children of North America MCNA (Canada), is a project of ICNA Sisters Canada, a registered organization. It is an educational and community project for kids aged 5 to 12 years.
It started as a Friday Evening Classroom Program for children aged 5 to 12 to help them learn to live as practicing Muslims and to give them the necessary tools to play a positive role in the community. It has now become an extensive project which includes many extracurricular activities like Earth day participation, summer camps, and charity food drives. We have more than 4000 registered children all across Canada. These children are not only the future of Canada but also the future of the Muslim ummah.
We provide a safe and nurturing environment that fosters exemplary Islamic education. We place a great emphasis on quality Islamic education through the use of integrative teaching and delivery methods.
