The Prophet Mohamed (S.A.W) said about children:
“Treat them well and give them the best education.” (Reported by Ibn Majah)

At IIT Academy, students have the right to:

• An environment that is conducive to learning, is well-resourced, and integrates tools and up-to-date technologies for greater efficiency.
• Parents, students and teachers working together in a positive productive partnership.
