First Graders Explore Past, Present, and Dreams Ahead

Our First Grade students recently completed an exciting learning journey exploring “Then and Now” — the Past and the Present. As part of this unit, students learned how life, tools, jobs, and daily routines have changed over time and how the present builds on the past.

To bring their learning to life, students took a joyful step further — imagining the future ✨

Dressing Up for Their Dreams

As a fun and meaningful activity, students dressed up as what they would like to become in the future. The classroom was filled with enthusiasm and confidence as our young learners proudly showcased their aspirations.

We saw:

  • 👩‍⚕️ Doctors caring for others

  • 👨‍🍳 Chefs ready to create delicious meals

  • 🚒 Firefighters prepared to help and protect

  • 👨‍🚀 Astronauts dreaming beyond the stars

  • 🤝 Community helpers serving society

  • 👮 Police officers standing for safety and justice

Each child confidently shared their role, helping classmates understand how every profession plays an important part in our community.

Learning Beyond the Classroom

This activity encouraged:

  • Self-expression and confidence

  • Understanding of community roles

  • Connecting past, present, and future concepts

  • Public speaking and listening skills

Most importantly, it allowed students to dream big and see themselves as future contributors to the world around them.

We are so proud of our First Graders for their creativity, enthusiasm, and thoughtful participation. Moments like these remind us that learning is not just about lessons — it’s about inspiring futures 💫

Be sure to check out the photos to see our future doctors, heroes, and leaders in action!

A Parent’s Perspective: How RQA Transformed Our Children in Just One Year

A Parent’s Perspective: How RQA Transformed Our Children in Just One Year.

At RQA, nothing makes us prouder than hearing directly from our parents. Recently, we received a heartfelt testimonial from a parent whose two sons joined RQA one year ago — and his words perfectly reflect what makes our learning environment so special.

1. Students Stay Engaged and Interested in Every Experience

He shared how his children are constantly excited and involved in all aspects of RQA — from classroom instruction to field trips, hands-on activities, guest speakers, and daily routines. Every day brings something meaningful, and the boys come home eager to share what they learned. This level of engagement is at the core of RQA’s teaching philosophy: learning should be active, enjoyable, and inspiring. 

2. Visible Growth in Behavior, Manners, and Akhlaq

One of the most noticeable changes he observed is the improvement in his children’s behavior and basic manners. Their respectful attitude, discipline, and everyday akhlaq have grown beautifully. At RQA, character-building is woven into everything we do, helping students become not only knowledgeable, but noble in conduct. 

3. A Family-Like Ambience That Creates True Belonging

What touched him the most is RQA’s warm, family-style culture. Older students naturally mentor younger ones, creating a “big brother” environment that makes every child feel supported and valued. This sense of belonging gives students confidence and comfort, turning RQA into a second home.

Why This Testimonial Matters

Feedback like this strengthens our commitment to providing a space where students thrive — academically, spiritually, and emotionally. For families exploring RQA, this parent’s experience offers a glimpse into the meaningful, community-centered education we strive to provide every day.

If you’re considering RQA for your child, we’d love to welcome you into our family.
