This book presents the views of leading scholars, academics, and educators on the renewal of Islamic schools in the Western context. Renewal relates to a purposeful synthesis of the tradition with contemporary educational practice and greater emphasis on empirical research substantiating best practices in Islamic schools.

Islamic schools are growing exponentially in the West to meet the demands of Muslim learners and their parents. This book provides a comprehensive approach to well-being and highlights both academic and practitioners’ findings, thoughts and experiences as well as school/classroom-based examples related to well-being in Islamic schooling.

This book aims to provide a practical and accessible resource for school leaders and educators in Islamic schools, focusing learning and teaching rooted in the Islamic worldview. Drawing from theoretical insights and school and classroom-based case studies, it offers innovative approaches for renewing educational practice in Islamic schools across Australia and beyond. The book serves as an inspiration for educational renewal of Islamic Schools to become schools that advance distinct models of holistic faith-informed educational practice. Through contributions from experienced practitioners and seasoned academics, this book seeks to bridge the gap between theory and practical implementation in Islamic schooling.
