Teachers & Parents: Essential Partners in Tarbiyah
Character Building at the Academy
What is Tarbiyah?
Tarbiyah is an Arabic word that linguistically means: increase, nurture, rear, growth, or loftiness. Tarbiyah means the development and the training of people in various aspects. In this regard, the word tarbiyah refers to the systematic development and the training of children.
