About Our Boarding School

Where Faith Meets Learning.

A Faith-Focused Boarding Life

At Darul Uloom Canada’s full-time boarding residence, young Muslim men live and learn under one roof: rising for Salaah at dawn, memorising the Qur’an by day, and studying the standard Canadian curriculum alongside classical Islamic sciences.

Within our 70,000 sq ft purpose-built campus, students grow in faith, character, and community. Supported by learned scholars, dedicated dormitories, and structured mentorship, each boy becomes part of a brotherhood rooted in Adab & Akhlaaq, grounded in Taqwa, and ready to serve the Ummah.

Here, every academic lesson pairs with an act of worship, every friendship a reminder of the Sunnah, and every dorm room becomes a stepping-stone towards both Dunya and Akhirah. 

Why Choose Boarding at Darul Uloom Canada

At Darul Uloom Canada, boarding life is a complete journey of Tarbiyyah, where young Muslims learn to live with purpose, discipline, and faith. Every moment on campus is designed to nurture the body, mind, and soul, helping students grow as true servants of Allah who excel in both Dunya and Akhirah.

Here, students wake with the Adhaan, begin their day in remembrance, and spend their time immersed in ʿIlm (knowledge), ʿIbaadah (worship), and brotherhood. Surrounded by positive role models and guided by dedicated scholars, each child learns to balance academics, spiritual growth, and personal development in a safe, faith-filled environment.

Since 2010, Darul Uloom Canada has been dedicated to fostering an environment rooted in Islamic values and academic excellence. Our 70,000 sq. ft. campus in Chatham, Ontario, offers a safe and inspiring space where students can thrive in both dunya and deen.

A Life of Learning and Worship

Students follow a structured daily routine that blends academic studies, Qur’an memorization, Islamic sciences, and recreation all centered around the five daily prayers.

They learn through the Canadian academic curriculum, while also engaging in Tahfeedh (Qur’an memorization) or the ʿĀlimiyyah program, laying the foundation for both professional and spiritual success.
