🌱 Be a Pioneer: Build the Future of the Ummah with Medina Montessori Middle School

Alhamdulillah, we’ve found a space. Now we need your help to bring it to life.

We’re launching a $60,000 fundraising campaign to establish Medina Montessori Middle School—the first Islamic middle school in the DMV metro area grounded in Maria Montessori’s Erdkinder philosophy. Your sadaqah will directly support this pioneering project that combines academic excellence, real-world responsibility, and deep-rooted Islamic values.

🕌 Why Medina Montessori?

At a critical stage in their development, our young Muslims need more than just textbooks and tests. They need purpose, responsibility, and identity.

Medina Montessori will:
✅ Offer a unique middle school experience built on the Erdkinder model—hands-on, purposeful, and empowering
✅ Integrate Islamic values with the Montessori approach, supporting faith, leadership, and self-discipline
✅ Provide adolescents (ages 12–15) with a meaningful environment to grow spiritually, intellectually, and socially
✅ Be the first of its kind in the region—setting a new standard for Islamic education in North America

About the Space

We have secured a space that will serve as a dynamic learning hub, conveniently located within walking distance of both Green Springs Gardens and Bismika Homestead. As part of our comprehensive daily curriculum, students will not only engage in rigorous, Montessori-based coursework in partnership with Bridgemeont Montessori but will also participate in daily outdoor activities. They will have the opportunity to plan their own small businesses and immerse themselves in real-world experiences. The kitchen facility within the learning hub will enable students to contribute to the planning and preparation of meals for their classmates. The hub is thoughtfully designed with comfortable furniture, creating an environment that fosters student collaboration and helps develop a close-knit micro-community.
