The School is located at ICCR 26830, Beaumont Ave., Redlands, CA 92373. The school starts at 9:00 am on Sunday morning and ends at noon after the jamma’a for Salat-ul-Thuhr. The school has KG through 9th grade. The age range is from 5 to 16 years. The mode of instruction is lively and fun, making it a positive experience.
