Welcome to Oracle Academy Website

The Oracle Academy, situated on the precincts of the Ottery Mosque, opens its doors to learners in Grades 8 to 12, in 2008.
The founders of The Oracle Academy envision a school that at its Eore, is based upon relationships. The foremost relationship is the one we have with our Lord, Almighty Allah. Other relationships include inter alia, the relationship between the school and the home, the relationships between educators and their learners, and the relationship between learners themselves. We believe that a thorough understanding of such relationships will allow our learners to fulfill their true potential and take their rightful place in society as independent, thinking Muslims, who serve Allah by serving the community.
Using innovative and dynamic teaching methods, we aim to provide each learner with the opportunity to acquire Islamic values, meaningful knowledge and relevant skills that will equip them to succeed in a challenging and ever-changing world.
The Islamic Studies programme at The Oracle Academy is skills- based, aimed at empowering learners not only to learn about Islam, but more importantly to live their lives as Muslims, conscious of Allah and their duties towards Him. The Islamic ethos at The Oracle Academy insures that the values of integrity, self-discipline, critical thinking and respect are part of the fibre of the school, and it is within this framework that the academics and co-curricular programmes find their shape and form.
