What They’re Saying

“Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah, I had a chance to sit in and listen to the general assembly with my daughter this morning, and I was so impressed and happy with what I heard and saw! Beautiful reminder by the sheikh to purify intentions and aim for ihsaan! And I am really impressed by the calibre and command of the headteacher!

May Allah SWT bless you for your care, dedication, and commitment! May Allah SWT make this year a year of growth for all the children, spiritually and academically. And may Allah SWT make Lady Evelyn and her graduates lights for this ummah and this world! Ameen!”

“I have to tell you that my daughter and we, the parents, are very very happy with this school, and just the first week has been amazing. Subhan Allah! I am a very big promoter of Muslim schools in the West. My kids went to a Muslim school in the UK before we came to KSA.

Subhan Allah! The main differentiating factor in such schools, and especially in LEIS, is the tarbiyah. The Monday assembly with Sheikh Abu Abdissalam’s reminder is one big highlight, Ma sha’ Allah. The Muslim teachers, their manners are all what I would like to see in a Muslim school.

My daughter said, in Chemistry, what she did not understand for 2 years in IGCSEs was made so easy in the first lecture!”

“As-salamu ‘alaykum, I just want to start by saying that I am really happy with how the school has been set up and how things are going with the children’s learning so far, Ma sha’ Allah.”

“As-salamu ‘alaykum, I just like to say a big Jazak Allahu khayran for all your efforts in setting up and running this great project, Ma sha’ Allah tabarak Allah. Kids are loving it, and on the whole has been smooth and very professional. Minor issues were expected (since that was after the first days of school!), but have been minimal Al-hamdu lillah. May Allah SWT bless and accept all efforts.”

“I am always praying for your school and all the teachers since your school is what we always dreamt of. I feel Allah has answered my du’as in Madina Munawara, and such a school came into existence. May Allah help us all. Jazak Allahu khayran.”

“As-salamu ‘alaykum, I just want to let you guys know that this week my kids enrolled on the online school called Lady Evelyn. I’ve been homeschooling them on and off for many years, but I was really impressed by how the online school is working. Ma sha’ Allah, they already have picked up so much more language and are getting faster at typing and more adept at explaining themselves in good language.

It’s only been a week, and I’ve been listening in on some lessons, and the teachers are really good. They bring Islamic themes into a lot of the lessons. My children are in Year 4 and Year 6, and they are really enjoying this new change, plus all their lessons are recorded, so it’s easy to catch up if we ever miss anything. Also, it’s easy to see if they need to find any assignments they need to do, as the website is easy to use. Allah humma baarik lahum.”

“Jazak Allahu khayran for giving us the opportunity to study at Lady Evelyn Independent School. I cannot express how happy I am to be studying at Lady Evelyn Independent School. My du’as were accepted last year when I chose not to study in a mixed physical school before, and one of my friends recommended Lady Evelyn Independent School. I’m so grateful to Allah, you and the entire management for giving me the opportunity to be part of the family. I’m also grateful to my parents that they supported me in my decision when I had no one to support me. May Allah reward you immensely.”

“The one thing we have been so happy with as a family is: the Islamic education is just far better, more in-depth and than what the girls were receiving before, and my daughter has thoroughly enjoyed her literature class and has been challenged by and enjoyed meeting the challenges of computer sciences.”

“I love Lady Evelyn Independent School because it has some really cool teachers who make the lessons interesting and really make you want to work hard. Although I was bullied last year, the school did something about it and gave me support. I like school because I get to do things that I can’t do at home, and I love seeing my friends.”

“I love Lady Evelyn Independent School because it is one of the best schools in the world! One of the tremendous reasons is that you can be anywhere in the world and join this school to learn. I have been receiving wonderful education from this school, and it hasn’t even reached a year yet! Therefore, this school is incredible. Of course, one of the main reasons for this is because of this school’s outstanding teachers, and I can’t thank them enough.

Another explanation why this school is great is the fact that so many friends can be made, and they can be in any part of the world. Furthermore, in this school, not only can you learn Maths, English and Science, but also Qur’an lessons and Islamic studies, which I find so remarkable. I also love the way this school is laid out, so organised, I know where everything is without getting confused. Thank you so much! Yours sincerely, Abdirahman.”

“I love Lady Evelyn Independent School because it is a great school where we learn how to use our brains in front of screens. We are also learning from experts who have been training for years to share their knowledge. In school, we also learn prophet stories in assembly, and our headteacher always tells us not to waste our 40-minute lessons but to appreciate them. Lady Evelyn is different from public schools.

In this school, we have lots of Islamic subjects like Islamic Studies, Arabic, Islamic History and Qur’an. We also have PE, which helps us keep fit in our home while in lockdown, and that’s why I love Lady Evelyn Independent School.”

“I love Lady Evelyn Independent School because it has a mix of both Islamic and proper English learning. This is really good because this is only one of a few schools which provide this education. And during this pandemic, it is really useful to have a school that is fully online.”

“I love Lady Evelyn because they have all the types of subjects, even Islamic studies, Qur’an, and Arabic. I can go to school and I can improve my deen! They also have amazing teachers like Miss Shelina Begum, Miss Khalilah Sadiq, Mrs Abdulkarim Saleh, and don’t forget the amazing Miss Burhana Islam. Even if you don’t choose me, at least you can see how much I love Lady Evelyn. If I were not in this school, I would wish that I were in Lady Evelyn.”

“I love Lady Evelyn School because: When I did not do well, our teachers did not yell. They helped us with no fuss! Our classmates are cool, never once cruel. We helped each other fairly, not one left out rarely! Thank you, Lady Evelyn, for being a part of me, I love your commitment, proud with glee!”

“I love Lady Evelyn Independent School because they always do their best to teach us well, we have lovely teachers, and they regularly give us homework. Not only do they teach us Maths, English, Science, Humanities, etc., they also teach Arabic, Islamic studies, and Qur’an, which help us boost our iman day by day. Teachers there always make sure that we are certain to exit our class with no difficulties. We have assessments at the end of each term, and parents will know their child’s/children’s progress.

If you miss a class, you will have access to a recording that helps you catch up with the class, and the classes will have enough children so you can always have time to ask questions. In this school, you are certain to have a great education. You can always message your teacher/teachers if you are not sure about something, and contact support if you are having any difficulties with joining the class or any internet difficulties, etc. I hope you can see how lovely and peaceful this school is!”

“I love Lady Evelyn because of the Islamic ethos and outstanding teaching. The Islamic ethos makes you feel at one with everyone, and improving our Islamic Knowledge and Qur’an (with no extra fee) whilst doing other subjects is amazing. Instead of having all those additional subjects in school, you get to choose which ones you would like to do with just a little extra fee. You can even make friends and communicate with people in class! It has an interactive chat box in class where you can discuss the topic and things you are learning about with other people.

They also have microphones to talk in class as well as an interactive whiteboard. Sometimes the teachers even put you in groups with people to do a project together. The teachers always make sure you understand the topic, are always happy to answer questions no matter what the circumstance is, and they even set you homework to make sure you understand. You can also send emails to your teacher if you need help outside the lesson, and you can even send emails to anyone in your school so you can make friends!

There are also people all over the world who are doing this school. If you miss a lesson, there are always recordings that you can watch to catch up! You also get more time with your family. There is absolutely nothing they have not thought of! Whilst it is already so outstanding, they are still working to make this school better every day! The fact that you get all of this at the comfort of your own home is astounding!”

“I love Lady Evelyn because it’s a Muslim school, and the teachers make the lessons very interesting, and I feel like I’m actually in the class. The school portal is nicely made and very easy to use. The lessons are not too long or too short, and you still have time to be with your family and do other things, like the Qur’an and pottery and play games with your family. I also love the way the teachers get us to work in groups sometimes and to make PowerPoint presentations together. Once a week, we have an assembly, and sometimes we do quizzes or the headteacher reads stories to us. It is very fun!”

“I love Lady Evelyn Independent School for several reasons. Throughout the beginning of the academic year, I have been through so many experiences and with this wonderful school and I have managed to grow towards both a good academic and religious path. The school has a variety of different teachers, each with their own spark, and all of them are such amazing teachers. With the astonishing work of the teachers, I have managed to improve my grades by such a large scale, and I have been able to have undeniably enjoyable lessons, with students interacting with each other and occasionally some educationally competitive activities.

Let’s not forget the much-needed support staff constantly working to improve the school and the platform. The support staff has always been quick to fix any problems and has always been unquestionably kind and reassuring. This school has been a huge change of good in my life, teachers, support, students and all, thank you so much!”

“Thank you for being our final nurturers before adulthood! We couldn’t have asked for a better support system!”

“Jazak Allahu khayran to all the teachers for working so hard and making online teaching such a beautiful experience!”
