About Al-Amal Academy
The academy's own about page says it was 'FOUNDED IN 2020' and describes itself as 'a fully accredited, full-time Islamic school for grades K-9 in Calgary, Alberta. Operated by Prairie Land Public School Division in partnership with the Pen and Paper Foundation'. Its homepage claims '50,000+ Sq Ft Premises', 'Over 400 Families Served' and '1st Full-Time Islamic School in Calgary NW', and its about page adds '30+ GRADE 9 GRADUATES'. CRA lists an Al-Amal Education Foundation (788126548RR0001) at 140 - 9 Royal Vista Dr NW, Calgary - the academy's own address - but its registration status is REVOKED (Failure to File), effective 2024-07-20. No CRA registration could be found for the Pen and Paper Foundation under that name.
From the organisation’s own pages, checked 13 Aug 2026 — see the sources below.
The CRA lists this organisation’s charitable registration as revoked — most often for late filings rather than for any wrongdoing. Donations are currently not tax-receiptable; ask the organisation about its status.
What we haven’t confirmed
We could not establish: co-ed or single-sex, hifz program, credit-granting status, busing, before/after care. Those are published as gaps rather than filled with a plausible guess. If you know the answer — especially if you are from this organisation — tell us and we will verify and update the listing.
Where to go next
Planning ahead
Families who use this school often ask the same question about their own estate: whether a will written here will actually be honoured.
