Introduction

The Fort McMurray Islamic School (FMIS) is committed to offering an Islamic environment demanding good teacher and student accountability. A focus on learning and practicing Islamic values along with developing academic skills and applying them in all endeavours is the hallmark of this one of a kind school. 

Mission

Our mission is to develop 21st century learning skills, thinking processes, and concepts, while fostering an environment that infuses the moral understandings of the Islamic perspective.  We strive to develop the whole student (academically, spiritually, socially, emotionally, and physically) based on the teachings of the Qu’ran and Sunnah.  Our community of faith-based students will work and learn together, while preserving the dignity and values of Islam, so that they may thrive as true ambassadors of their faith and live as true Muslims in this diverse world.
