About Meezan School
Knowledge, Faith and Character in a Caring Islamic School Community
Meezan School is an Islamic elementary school operated by the Muslim Society of Guelph, serving students from Kindergarten through Grade 8 through the Ontario curriculum, Qur’an, Arabic, Islamic Studies, and character-centred education.
Growing with the Muslim Community of Guelph
Meezan School was established in 2014 by the Muslim Society of Guelph to provide families with a strong academic program rooted in Islamic faith, values, identity, and character.
What began as a community vision has grown into a Kindergarten to Grade 8 school where students are encouraged to excel academically, strengthen their relationship with Allah, develop confidence, and become responsible members of society.
Our school continues to grow through the trust of families, the dedication of teachers and administrators, and the support of the wider Muslim community.
