Clubs & Sports

Robotics Club (ARC) is an After-School event run by parent volunteers and teachers. The goals of the club activities are to inspire students in developing creative thinking, problem solving techniques, apply scientific reasoning to solutions, use basic mathematics, physics and programming concepts, research on issues, improve on presentation skills, community involvement, and above all, work as a team while having fun learning. Al-Hamra Academy thanks Coach Br. Ghazanfar for initiating Robotics at the Academy.

Al Hamra's Speech and Debate Club has been running for the last four years. Our speechies have done really well and won at several tourmants in the Massachusetts Middle School Speech League and the National Forensic League. Students have participated in Impromptu, Duo Improv, Children's Literature, Prose, Poetry, Sales Pitch, Radio Broadcasting, and much more. 

Our Parent and Alumni volunteers lead the way with After-School Soccer Club at Al-Hamra! Out on the playing field, it is an incredible opportunity to learn soccer skills, teamwork, and have fun! Soccer is held once a week on Sundays. It is open to boys and girls ages 4 to 13. The teams are broken down by age group. Teams have incredible fun and good exercise playing against each other and working up to the big tournament at the end of the season! Thanks volunteer Coaches!

Al-Hamra Middle School Students have the opportunity to engage in a leadership position within the Student Council. The Student Council members are responsible for reaching out to the community and to the Town of Shrewsbury by visiting the Fire Department and Police Station. Our Student Council also coordinates events such as Movie Night and Game Night for Middle School Students. Student Council members shine as hosts and hostesses at our well-attended annual Fundraising Dinner each year, masha Allah. As excellent role models, they inspire our younger children.

DestiNation ImagiNation (DI) is a program where student teams solve open-ended challenges and present their solutions at tournaments. There are six new challenges to choose from each year. The areas of focus include: Technical, Scientific, Fine Arts, Improvisational, Structural and Service Learning. Top-scoring teams advance, and the top tier goes to the Global Finals—the world’s largest celebration of creativity. Teams learn higher order thinking, improve in creative/critical thinking, and collaborative problem solving.

Each year, Al-Hamra Academy students participate in many service and community outreach activities. Our students organize food and clothing drives and coordinate delivery to local homeless shelters. During Ramadan students donate to charities to help others in need in the community.
