Girls’ Hifz School

At the Girls’ Hifzul Qur’ān School (GHQS) Canada, we provide a nurturing environment for young girls to immerse themselves in the recitation, memorization and understanding of the Holy Qur’ān. Our students will develop a strong bond with the Holy Word, learn and improve valuable skills such as time management and memorization. They will also enjoy the company of their peers and form lasting friendships. Here, students will join a 3-year program that will lead to the title of Ḥāfiẓa-Al-Qur’ān and will receive a completion certificate.
