Q: If you isolate children from the larger non-Muslim society would they not be growing in a shell and become unable to interact with the other communities in their practical lives?
A: Not at all. First of all, research shows that children, specially younger ones, perform better when they are in familiar social settings. Islamic school certainly gives Muslim children an atmosphere in which they can grow and excel.
Second, the human mind and personality is remarkably capable of adjusting to change. This explains the success of various immigrant communities across the world. The members of communities were born and raised in a totally different culture and environment.
Besides, Muslim children who attend Islamic schools are never totally out of touch with Non Muslim society. Their exposure to the larger Non Muslim culture is still considerable. Television, news media, neighborhoods, and non-Muslim staff in their own institutions keep the windows to the larger world wide open.
Research indicates that students who attend private/parochial schools performed better in their lives than their public school counterparts.
