Islamic elementary school serving JK to Grade 6, teaching the Ontario curriculum alongside Qur'an and Sunnah, led by principals the school says have 15+ years in Islamic and public education. It has leased a former public school facility in Stoney Creek, Hamilton as a second campus, described as ready for operation from September 2025 - confirm which campus a given grade attends. Office hours listed as Mon-Sat 8:00-18:00. Note the Ontario Ministry registry (BSID 665956, principal Aghyad Alshawaf, contact email wmccofficial@wmcc.ca indicating the Waterdown Muslim Community Centre operates it) files the address under 'Dundas'; Waterdown, Dundas and Stoney Creek are all within the City of Hamilton, so this record is filed under Hamilton. Registered with the Ontario Ministry of Education as a private school (BSID 665956); it does not offer OSSD credits, and Ontario only inspects credit-granting secondary private schools, so accreditation and inspection are left unconfirmed.
