The goal of Fatih Institute is to expand the educational services that have successfully served students and families since 2019. Nausheen Akhter, founder and experienced teacher, integrates core English and Math curriculum with a substantial STEM and Art component to help students attain grade-level skills, and encourage their confidence and curiosity in learning.
Core Academics
The English courses are designed with homeschooling students in mind. They are based on the New York State Next Generation Learning Standards and offer students an opportunity for rich discussions. Students will also do short and long writing exercises to deepen their analysis and learn how to develop arguments.
Spark Curiosity
Explore the STEM, Model Building Math, and Islamic Art classes, which are great for students in various educational models. In the dynamic and rapidly changing world we live in, problem solving and quick thinking are vital. Research also shows that students learn best in areas of interest. The STEM, Model Building, and Islamic Art classes are designed with these principles in mind. They are great options as either part of a core academic program or as enrichment.
Build Communities
To see ourselves in our teachers and peers is empowering for minority students. A classroom in which we can refer back to Islamic values during an English discussion or the contributions of Muslim scientists and artists strengthens young hearts.

Safe Online Community
A small classroom for Muslim kids ensures that students can feel comfortable with their classmates and build a learning community.
My boys had the opportunity of learning arts with nausheen for two semesters. They were initially reluctant in doing an arts class but once they started they enjoyed a lot and I noticed remarkable improvement in their coloring after just a few classes. Nausheen made arts fun for them and made them fall in love with it by giving them space to explore their interests and gently guiding them to improve with every new project! Masha Allah it was a great experience for the entire family!

Nausheen is able to engage the children and keep them interested at the same time. I would highly recommend her classes to any homeschooler or parent looking to supplement their children’s classes.
