our story
Darul Arqam Southwest (DASW) began operating as a full-time school in 1994. In the early 1990's the school was operating in two small classrooms in Masjid Attaqwa. The three member faculty at the time taught 25 students from Pre-Kindergarten (age 3) to 3rd grade. Today by the grace of God and the commitment and generosity of our community, the school has evolved into a full time Pre-K to 8th grade educational institute with a faculty of over 25 teachers and staff and a student body over 210 students in two connected buildings. The school still utilizes two trailers to accommodate the large numbers, and the school is currently raising and collecting funds to build a two-story building with an indoor gym, cafeteria, and kitchen, insha'Allah.
Darul Arqam Southwest operates under the Islamic Educational Institute of Texas (I.E.I.T), which is a subsidiary of the Islamic Society of Greater Houston (I.S.G.H.). The main objective in establishing Darul Arqam Schools was to create quality education institutions that excel in academics and produce morally responsible citizens.
Darul Arqam offers its students and staff a safe healthy and Islamic environment. DASW has a history of providing a quality Islamic education to a diverse student body. Currently, DASW serves over 114 families. The parents of Darul Arqam Southwest expect excellence in academic and Islamic education while promoting a strong Islamic school environment for all students.
Darul Arqam is a non-profit organization. The majority of all school funding is generated by student tuition and fundraisers. The primary expenses of our total operating budget is allocated towards employee salaries, technology (computers, laptops, software), resources/programs, student activities/events, materials, textbooks, sports, library expenses, etc. Parents support the school's fundraiser to allocate additional funds for student services annually.
