AGE Early Childhood Hajj Simulation Experience

Our Early Childhood and Lower Elementary students from both the Teaneck and Paterson campuses took part in a beautiful and meaningful Hajj simulation on Friday, May 22nd. Dressed in traditional Hajj attire, our students fully immersed themselves in the experience. Girls wore their white abayas, while boys came dressed in white Hajj towels. Through this hands-on journey, they learned and performed the steps of Hajj in a way that was both engaging and memorable. It was a special day filled with learning, reflection, and unity, helping our young students connect with the significance of this important pillar of Islam.
Happy Eid from AGE's Early Childhood!

AGE Culture Day- Paterson
Our Early Childhood students proudly celebrated Culture Day with joy, color, and unity as they embraced the beauty of their diverse cultures. Dressed in traditional attire and sharing cultural values and delicious dishes, our young berries learned the true meaning of citizenship, respecting one another, appreciating diversity, and taking pride in who they are.

It was a wonderful day of learning, sharing, and celebrating the rich cultures that make our school community so special. We are proud to raise young citizens who honor their heritage while building friendships across cultures.

Our High School students took their Arabic learning beyond the classroom and into real life! Over lunch at a wonderful Arabic restaurant, they practiced speaking Arabic, explored delicious traditional dishes, and learned valuable life skills like communication and cultural appreciation. From ordering food in Arabic to sharing conversations around the table, every moment was a lesson to remember.
At AGE, learning Arabic is not just about words, it’s about connection and experience.
