@Pisiform

I didn’t know there were proper Islamic schools here. Most of my family went to public schools and then Sunday school for Islamic education. @Reha how did you like the school? Did they incorporate religion and science? Were all the facilities available to challenge students like labs etc? Did you feel competitive when applying for college? Was it still coed? What about sports and gym activities? Did you feel left out at times?
I am just curious because I never knew such school existed

I went to CPSA when the program was still very new and kinks were being worked out. Academically, the education is sound. But other parts of the experience were…good and bad. No regrets though.

We didn’t have coed classes.
We did not have proper physical education - now its probably different
We didn’t have a very sophisticated lab.

What we did have:

A very close network of teachers and students
Small class sizes
Lifelong connections - hard to explain this but I’ve barely lost touch with people for some odd reason and it comes in handy later on in life
