Sydney's only K-10 Islamic,
home school centre, where deen is embedded into the curriculum and taught in EVERY lesson.
Imagine if deen was woven into every lesson, from Kindy to Year 12. What kind of graduates would we produce? That’s the culture we want.
At Sunnah Life Academy (SLA), Islam is not taught as a separate subject. Instead, it is integrated into our entire curriculum, teaching children that our faith is part of everything we do.
Do you remember the last time you applied your knowledge of battery-powered potatoes, SOH CAH TOA, or mitosis? Neither do we.
Knowledge unused is forgotten.
At SLA, we focus on teaching real-world skills that truly matter. From running a business in KidPreneur, to authoring a book and cooking a meal, our students gain practical skills that prepare them for life.
We offer group home schooling tuition for years K-10, available up to 3 days a week. Our curriculum includes core academic subjects such as English and Math, complemented by hands-on lessons, excursions, and events to support your home school.
Our teaching philosophy focuses on real-life applications of academic subjects, preparing students for the real world, not just exams. We foster growth beyond academics, as there's more to a child than just their brain. See what we mean here.

"If children do not learn the way we teach, then we should teach the way they learn."
ISLAM FIRST, LAST
& ALWAYS
We don't do detention, we do Wudoo.
We don't do the 'naughty corner', we do 2 Raka'aat.
We don't do morning assembly, we do morning halaqah.
With a focus on the Qur'an and Sunnah both in and outside of the classroom, we aim to embed the deen into the psyche of each student.
WE GO BEYOND THE CURRICULUM
Our programs go beyond the standard curriculum, offering a safe, happy space where students aren’t boxed in. We focus on growth and real opportunities—not just academics.
Some of our initiatives include:
-
KidPreneur
-
Kids Teaching Kids
-
High School Events Team
-
Paid Employment
SMALLER GROUP
SIZES GUARANTEED
Smaller class sizes.
Less stressed teachers.
Skill focused.
3 day/week load.
Less is more.
"Ample research indicates that children in smaller groups participate more and achieve better outcomes, both academic and otherwise." Baker, B. D., Farrie, D. and Sciarra, D. G. (2016).
QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
Is your child struggling with ADHD, OCD, anxiety, or obesity?
Traditional schooling often overloads students with pressure and unnecessary busy work, contributing to declining mental and physical health.
Our program runs just 3 days a week, focusing only on what students truly need—because busy doesn’t always mean productive.
HANDS ON, NOT TEXTBOOK FOCUSED
Learning about Hajj is one thing—experiencing it is another. Focusing only on theory limits true understanding.
Children learn best through hands-on involvement:
Tell them, they might forget.
Show them, they might remember.
Involve them, and they will understand.
