# Lantern Academy
Lantern Academy is an Islamic educational institution based in Rochdale that provides comprehensive religious and Quranic education to students of all ages. The academy serves Muslim families seeking structured Islamic learning alongside character development and spiritual growth.
The academy operates a dual-syllabus approach, offering both Islamic studies and dedicated Quranic instruction. Their Islamic programme ranges from infant foundational classes through to advanced modules covering Fiqh, Aqeedah, and Seerah, with formal examinations and annual assessments. The Quranic pathway progresses from basic literacy through iQra Qaida, to full Quran study with Tajweed, culminating in a formal Hifz (memorisation) programme with regular teacher-guided assessments.
What distinguishes Lantern Academy is their holistic approach to education. Beyond traditional classroom instruction, they integrate extracurricular activities, community projects, and educational trips designed to build character and deepen spiritual connection. The academy operates a dedicated football academy combining physical fitness with teamwork development, and hosts Islamic holiday programmes aligned with their syllabus.
Recognition validates their approach—Lantern Academy has won the Madrasah of the Year award for three consecutive years, accredited by Beacon Awards. Their "award-winning syllabus" is described as structured, simple, and effective, explicitly designed around their motto "Creating Beacons of Light." Leadership prioritises student wellbeing as central to everything they do, combining high-quality education with nurturing resources for the next generation.
