Dear Community-Members:
Assalamu alaikum.
I am honored to present to you a few excerpts from essays written by three of Bayaan Academy's students. Alhamdulillah, Bayaan Academy opened its doors as a Homeschool Co-Op at the New Tampa Masjid, Daarus Salaam, on Tuesday, August 25 and offers a full Hifdh Program (8:00 am - 12:00 pm) a Pre-Hifdh Program (9:30 am - 12:00 pm) and a full Academics Program (12:00 - 4:00 pm).
We are very grateful to the Masjid's Board for hosting us, and we look forward to an amazing year and beyond.
We would like to invite you to join us for two events this week:
Bayaan Academy Bake Sale- Friday, Sept. 11 after Jumuah

Bayaan Academy is a brand new school and is located at Morris Bridge Mosque. Personally, I think it is amazing.
Bayaan Academy is an Islamic school that teaches us Hifdh in the morning and Academics in the afternoon.
What I like best about Bayaan Academy is that everyone is kind and helpful and makes sure that you understand everything.
It is so amazing how much I have learned and how much the school has helped in just two weeks.
I thank all of my teachers for teaching me!

I want to say something interesting and cool about my new school, Bayaan Academy. When I first went to Bayaan Academy , all the teachers and students were really nice. They helped me with everything I needed.
The teachers are so cool. Br. Alman is the coolest Math teacher . The Language Arts teacher is Sr.Kiashe. Sr. Kiashe arranged for us to go to the library. We took an online class and test about Internet Safety.
The other teachers, like Sr. Dalia and Br. Ibrahim, teach in the Hifdh portion of Bayaan Academy.

Bayaan is not a fully registered school yet. Insha’Allah, within four to six months, Bayaan will be a fully registered Florida school. However, even though we are not yet a full school, we have many subjects and an Islamic way of giving people a good education that I think every Islamic school should have. Alhamdulillah, at Bayaan Academy, we have a full-time Hifdh Program, plus Math, Science, English and Social Studies.
Br.Alman teaches Science and Math. He is very to the point and tells us everything we need to know. Math is my favorite subject. English and Social Studies are taught by Sr.Kiashe. She makes learning fun. Social Studies is my second favorite subject.
We also have a full-time Hifdh Program. It includes Qur’an memorization and review, Tafseer and Tajweed, learning centers, and Arabic to understand Qur’an.
We enjoy lunch and recess between Hifdh and Academics. We play soccer and basketball. The girls jump rope. We bring our lunch from home. Lunch and recess is a great time to converse and play outside.
At the end of our first week, we did a presentation to the parents about the work we did in our first week. The students conducted the whole presentation.
In our second week, we went on a field trip to the New Tampa Regional Library. Each child was allowed to pick 3 fiction books and 1 nonfiction book.
I thoroughly enjoyed everything in its own part at Bayaan Academy.
