With the help of Allah, and the support of the community, ISNA High School has been organizing annual Umrah Graduation Trips for grade 12 students and their families since 2011. The trip takes place around March Break and is partially subsidized by donations from the community.

The purpose of this trip is to to give graduating students a memorable trip to reconnect with the roots of their faith as they embark on to their next phase of life and continue their studies at post-secondary institutions.

In adopting 21st century educational practices in technology, ISNA schools’ THINKTech initiative paves the way towards enlightenment by preparing students for the future, today. ISNA High has become a Google School where each and every student has a Chromebook Laptop with staff continuously incorporating various Google Apps into the learning process.

Further, this initiative also aligns with ISNA High’s focus on leadership training for students. By using various Google tools, students in leadership roles develop important skills such as organization, planning and communication, which allows them to develop essential lifelong skills towards becoming leaders for the community.

Many staff have become Google Certified Teacher’s in the process and more are becoming certified.

ISNA schools is a pioneer amongst Islamic Schools in Canada to adopt this 21st century educational practice. It hopes to become an exemplary schools to help and guide other Islamic Schools.

ISNA High believes strongly in providing opportunities for every student to have a voice and to develop his/her leadership skills. It is our responsibility to prepare students and to develop their skills and personal characteristics to be a successful leader. All students are expected to support the leadership of those in formal roles who have the responsibility to carry out specific duties. These leadership opportunities encourage the development of skills that will serve the students at school, their personal goals and ambitions, and serve the community as future leaders.

The purpose of the Student Activity Council (SAC) is to raise school spirit and participation, as well as awareness of various social issues, through activities and events that engage the student body.
