About Us
Our Vision
The Ahmadiyya Muslim School’s vision is to provide “Excellence in Education and Values” through the promotion of the core values of honesty, integrity, equity, equality, peace, respect, and harmony.
Our logo encapsulates this vision and is proudly designed by Sister Katrina Hortelano. Representing our faith’s central role in our life is the iconic Minaratul Masih in Qadian, India. Below the minaret is a pen representing the importance of education in Islam. A mountain backdrop and the Canadian maple leaf represents the beauty of the Greater Vancouver Area and our commitment to contribute positively to Canada as “Love for one’s country is part of faith”. These individual elements are tied together as a symbol of Islam’s call for unity and excellence.
Governance
The Ahmadiyya Muslim School is overseen by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Schools Society, a non-profit organization. The Society is governed by a volunteer board of directors responsible for the overall stewardship of the School. The Board sets policy directions through strategic planning and goal setting to ensure the financial stability of the School and to advance the School’s vision. The Board is also responsible for appointing the Principal to whom it delegates authority over the administration of the School and matters of curriculum and staffing.
