An-Noor Private School (ANPS) is a full-time, fully accredited, elementary school affiliated with the Windsor Islamic Association (WIA).  ANPS follows the Ontario Curriculum while integrating Arabic and Islamiyat (in accordance with the Quran and Sunnah). Our History
ANPS first opened its doors at the Windsor Mosque, in 1994, as a JK class with only seven students.  Our current building, on Janette Ave., was purchased in 2003 and accommodates over 300 full-time students.  It also houses a full-time daycare centre and Pre-School facility, serving daily hot breakfasts and hot lunches cooked fresh in our in-school kitchen.

Conveniently located in the heart of Windsor, our diverse student population proudly reflects the rich cultural mosaic of our fine community.

The An-Noor Experience
ANPS offers a friendly environment where you and your family truly feel respected and welcome.  

"An-Noor School was my second home. The teachers were my parents and the students, my siblings."  A.M., ANPS Alumnus

School Staff
ANPS hires experienced, qualified, and professional teaching faculty at every level.  Our school administrators and teaching staff are often described as: passionate, dedicated, extremely hard-working, caring, enthusiastic, and the best at what they do, mashaAllah.
  
"An-Noor is like my second family. I love the staff and the students.  What I like most about An-Noor is that everyone does their work with Ihsan, and I am happy to be part of such great people." H.O., ANPS Staff Member

Integrated Montessori
In the 2011/2012 school year, ANPS began successfully integrating Montessori concepts into our Pre-School, Kindergarten, and early grades carricula.  The aim of this ongoing project has been to provide a broader learning experience by incorporating Montessori theory and teaching methods while maintaining both the critical early years skills and learning objectives of the Ontario curriculum, as well as our foundational Islamic and Arabic components.
