Why was the school created?
Averroes Toronto Moroccan School (ATMS) was created to fill a need expressed by the community for a school that teaches classic Arabic and traditional and Islamic values to our children to bring them closer to their cultural heritage. It is important to recognize that ATMS is NOT a substitute to the education our children receive from their daily school. It is intended to create a bridge that will link our children’s Canadian identity with their Islamic and Arabic background.

If Ian McDougall had his way, he’d do his homework on the bus or in the cafeteria — anywhere but at home. That is, if he did it at all. But Ian, 10, has no choice in the matter. As soon as he gets home from school, mom Jennifer McDougall makes him sit down and complete his homework while she hovers close by.
“If I did not provide very strict parameters for when homework is going to be done and how it’s going to be done, it would never get done,” says McDougall, who happens to teach fifth grade, the same grade Ian will soon enter in Media, Pa.
