About APAX

2010 was a momentous year for the people of South Africa as we welcomed the world to our shores, hosting the world´s greatest sporting event; the FIFA Soccer World Cup. Twenty Ten also marked the beginning of the vision of the Auckland Park Academy of Excellence. A vision to create a school to achieve excellence in every aspect of the Muslim learner's life.

The mission of the Auckland Park Academy of Excellence is directed to achieving holistic quality education based on sound Islamic principles and ideology based on the Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama´ah principles of Islam, teaching and learning about Islam, propagating Islam and dedication to the service of humanity. It is the academy´s aim to instil the values of leadership, productivity, discipline, respect and morality within our learners.

The Auckland Park Academy of Excellence is based in the tranquil suburb of Auckland Park with a maximum of 20 learners per class thus enabling us to deliver quality education to every learner. APAX encourages free thinking (within the boundaries of the Shariah) and aims to utilise innovative teaching methodologies to keep our children motivated. APAX encourages parent involvement and together with the educators aims to deliver well rounded individuals.

Principal's Message

The very first word that was revealed by Jibreel AS in the Quraan was "Iqraa" - read....and therein lies our success both in this world and in the hereafter.

The pursuit of knowledge is the first step towards achieving our goals.

At Apax we believe that school is not only about ABCs and 123s. It is about developing a well rounded individual whose achievements must reflect sound islamic values and principals, secular and academic success, a learner who is creative and articulate... and of course we definitely want the child to be exposed to many different sporting codes. We want our learners to understand the distinction between getting an education and being an educated person. To achieve that, we aim to instil the best values of aklaaq so that the Apax learner has a character that lends beauty to the knowledge that they have acquired...and in that lies an 'educated person'. Alhamdulillah, we have begun the journey. We ask that Allah guide and protect us, always. Ameen.

More about APAX

We, the Auckland Park Academy of Excellence recognise that our society faces new challenges due to its growth and advancement. These challenges arise almost on a daily basis which must be met with solutions that allow us to develop as a civilisation. We are mindful of our duty and aware that ultimate success lies only in the pleasure of our Creator. We acknowledge that strong individuals contribute to stable families, who in turn make up strong communities that form the very fabric of society. It is further noted that the development of individuals must start at the earliest possible stage of their lives. It is in this light that we believe that values, morals, honour, integrity and leadership must be built from the time that learners enter our school.
