The school is running both primary and secondary levels of education with a good academic performance record. The primary section is fully Islamically integrated; teaching both secular and Islamic subjects such as Quran, Tawhid, Fiqh, Sira, Hadith, Arabic, Tafsir and Tajwid fully taught in Arabic and following the ICDC syllabus.

The secondary section is also integrated offering Arabic language and IRE (Islamic Religious Education) together with secular subjects. There are good boarding facilities for both the secondary and primary sections.

The school has also been under fire due to excessive violence both mental and physical against students (including sexual harassment by teachers, whippings and random misogynistic violence)which has left multitudes of students with childhood trauma and illnesses pertaining to that.

The head of Islamic department which manages the integrated program is Dr. Hajj Maulid Makokha a graduate from the Islamic University of Madina - Saudi Arabia.
