Canada is known to be a \u201cmelting pot\u201d of people from all walks of life and from every corner of our planet. People have been immigrating to Canada for hundreds of years and continue to choose to make Canada home. Immigrants express that the reason they are so drawn to this fine country is that they find they are able to hold on to their ethnic identities and cultural roots- whether it be their language, their religion or their traditions while also embracing the beautiful Canadian traditions, values and language.<\/span><\/div>\n\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<style>@media screen and (max-width: 1023px) {.thegem-vc-text.thegem-custom-69f233c62a64f6162{display: block!important;}}@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {.thegem-vc-text.thegem-custom-69f233c62a64f6162{display: block!important;}}@media screen and (max-width: 1023px) {.thegem-vc-text.thegem-custom-69f233c62a64f6162{position: relative !important;}}@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {.thegem-vc-text.thegem-custom-69f233c62a64f6162{position: relative !important;}}<\/style>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\r\n<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-69f233c62a6eb {margin-top: 10px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-69f233c62a6eb\" class=\"gem-divider\" style=\"\" ><\/div>\r\n\t\r\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_center\" >\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper   vc_box_border_grey\"><img width=\"1320\" height=\"941\" src=\"https:\/\/academienour.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Academie-Nour-academienour-montreal-4.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"academienour.org\" title=\"Academie Nour - academienour montreal\" srcset=\"https:\/\/academienour.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Academie-Nour-academienour-montreal-4.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/academienour.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Academie-Nour-academienour-montreal-4-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/academienour.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Academie-Nour-academienour-montreal-4-1024x730.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/academienour.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Academie-Nour-academienour-montreal-4-768x547.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1320px) 100vw, 1320px\" \/><\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/figure>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t\r\n<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-69f233c62b1c4 {margin-top: 10px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-69f233c62b1c4\" class=\"gem-divider\" style=\"\" ><\/div>\r\n\t\r\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element  vc_custom_1688455811738 thegem-vc-text thegem-custom-69f233c62b28d5070\"  >\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Canada embraces multiculturalism and diversity. It is tolerant of the building of churches, mosques, synagogues and temples. It welcomes and encourages third language schools where children can learn their parents\u2019 native tongues and maintain their identities while living as Canadians contributing in this society. Naturally, parents wish to preserve not only their languages but also their religious identities and beliefs.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Acad\u00e9mie Nour was a dream that stemmed from the desire to provide students of the Muslim-Quebec community with an institution that provides quality French-language education and enriches the personal development of our children that is also in line with Islamic values. Its goal is to shape our children to become universal citizens and proud members of Quebec and Canadian society.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<style>@media screen and (max-width: 1023px) {.thegem-vc-text.thegem-custom-69f233c62b28d5070{display: block!important;}}@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {.thegem-vc-text.thegem-custom-69f233c62b28d5070{display: block!important;}}@media screen and (max-width: 1023px) {.thegem-vc-text.thegem-custom-69f233c62b28d5070{position: relative !important;}}@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {.thegem-vc-text.thegem-custom-69f233c62b28d5070{position: relative !important;}}<\/style>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\r\n<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-69f233c62b362 {margin-top: 10px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-69f233c62b362\" class=\"gem-divider\" style=\"\" ><\/div>\r\n\t\r\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element  vc_custom_1688455786750 thegem-vc-text thegem-custom-69f233c62b4487202\"  >\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>The community\u2019s needs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Acad\u00e9mie Nour surveyed parents from the Muslim community to gain an understanding of what they look for in a private school in Quebec. The finding was that parents long for a school that prioritizes the quality of French-language education and also encourages the teaching of the native Arabic language. Parents expressed the desire to have an environment that not only welcomes but embraces and accommodates the practices and values of the Islamic religion so their children can feel comfortable practicing Islam, whether by openly performing daily prayers, wearing the hijab, or observing traditions such as Ramadan.<b><\/b><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Our dream<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The dream of having a school that provides top-notch French-language education in an environment that embraces Islamic values became a reality when members of the Muslim communities- many of them parents themselves- came together to embark on this project. Since then, a location in Montreal-North was secured for the school\u2019s site and Acad\u00e9mie Nour even obtained a Registered Charity number from the Canada Revenue Agency. With the school\u2019s grand opening quickly approaching in September 2024, the vision has become clearer and the anticipation is growing. With the generous, unwavering support of our community members, we look forward to welcoming the young minds of today and creating the Canadian leaders of tomorrow.<b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>We need your support<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A Chinese proverb says \u201cThe best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second- best time is now.\u201d Acad\u00e9mie Nour is reaching out to you- parents, educators, students and professionals in our community for your generosity and support. Please be sure to follow our social media pages to find out more about our fundraising efforts and to stay up to date on all our developments. When we work together with our community, our commitment to our children and the dream for our very own school will flourish.
