Muslim students from Somalia and other African countries often attend Islamic school. They start as young as age 5. At this school they spend their Saturdays studying the Qu’ran, learning to read and write in Arabic, and learn about the principles of the Islamic religion. Students may also do community service work as the focus is to help young people become leaders in their community while staying true to the tenets of Islam.
