Our Model
Cottage School
Revival Ihya School is the ideal hybrid for those who love the individualized approach of homeschooling while being provided qualified teachers and curriculum four days a week. It is a unique blend of homeschool and private school. Families benefit from the structure of a private school, while still maintaining the flexibility and value of a family-centered homeschool.
Madrasa Model
Students connect to an unbroken, living chain of transmission between teacher and student through the preservation of the intellectual heritage of Islam. In these circles (halaqahs) students memorize sacred texts, engage in discussions, and improve their character and manners.
Integrated Studies Model
Students are offered independent and scheduled learning opportunities across various subjects. Students have the freedom to choose where, when, and how they will learn. With a 1:6 teacher-to-student ratio, students can optimize one-on-one instruction from the teacher, collaborate with other students, or work independently on their assignments. Students gain skills in self-management, accountability, and time management.

Our full-time program operates Monday to Thursday 8:30 AM-3:30 PM. Fridays are home education days.
