Cordoba Academy has based its curriculum on the classical Islamic texts known as mutoun (summaries of disciplines), all of which are masterpieces authored by traditional Islamic luminaries such as Imam al-Bukhari, Ibn Hajr al-Asqalani and Hafiz Abdul Ghani al-Maqdisi. These texts are explained at the hands of highly experienced scholars and educators.

Some of the features of the curriculum are:

• A complete learning system that is both authentic and structured, leaving the student with a wholesome experience of learning not usually found by self-study.


• A series of well developed study materials for each of the subjects taught, including: pre-recorded readings of the Arabic text, comprehension check tests and study assignments. This ensures that students continually assess their understanding, gaining optimum benefit.


• An electronic library containing not only the books taught by Cordoba Academy, but also a wide variety of books in that science, in order to create a spirit of independent learning and research - skills that true students of knowledge will cherish for the rest of their lives.


• A platform for students to discuss and interact with other students of knowledge and trouble-free access to scholars regarding the subject matter during and after classes.

The Academy aims to provide courses covering classical Islamic texts (mutoun) in the following fields of Islamic Sciences: Tafseer, Tajweed, Aqeedah, Fiqh, Hadith, Seerah, Dawah and Arabic language.
