About Meezan School

Education Rooted in Faith, Purpose and Community

Established in 2014 and operated by the Muslim Society of Guelph, Meezan School provides a balanced Islamic education that nurtures intellectual, spiritual, moral, social, and personal development.

We believe students thrive when they feel safe, respected, encouraged, and connected to their identity. Our educators and administrators work with families to support academic learning, Islamic character, confidence, responsibility, and a lifelong love of learning.

Education at Meezan School is not only about what children know. It is also about who they become.
