The motivation for Shajar commenced due to the need of a school that possesses the perfect blend of modern education in an Islamic environment. We have joined the growing number of schools that have taken up this challenge so that we may also contribute to this common goal. A vital part of this challenge is the design and implementation of a curriculum of the highest standard combined with a personality development programme. At Shajar we are continuously researching and applying the latest techniques into our holistic curriculum. To ensure that students are equipped with the intellectual tools to meet the challenges of the modern age, Shajar has applied many creative techniques besides the formal curriculum. We have an intricately thought-out curriculum. Our curriculum developers ensure that there is a balance between the studies and co-curricular activities.
