The Fairfax Institute

The Fairfax Institute (TFI) is a school of the International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT). Its main aims are continued education, community outreach, and inter-faith dialogue which are accomplished by providing enrichment courses, training workshops, seminars, and career development programs. TFI connects IIIT’s global networks of scholars and ideas to the community by translating scholarship into practical courses and training programs, with the objective of enhancing spiritual and religious understanding. The Fairfax Institute has several classrooms with full technological capabilities. The institute recruits highly qualified instructors and strongly motivated students from a variety of backgrounds. TFI awards educational certificates, and it also provides an opportunity for receiving academic credit through its cooperation with accredited academic institutions. One of the significant TFI programs is the Summer Student Program for college students. This program is structured to provide students with intensive instruction in Islamic studies. It also offers directed research and training in students’ areas of interest. Looking into the future, The Fairfax Institute will continue seeking active collaboration with committed partners, whose educational objectives are aligned with ours, and who can contribute to community development and spiritual regeneration.
