Inspired by knowledge,
shaped by understanding.
Arkan Toledo is a non-profit organisation that delivers educational programs to foster inclusion and understanding.
Arkan Toledo was initially established in 2012 to deliver Islamic Special Religious Instruction (SRI) in Victorian state schools. At its peak, the program reached hundreds of students across a dozen state primary schools across Melbourne. However, due to the change in regulations governing SRI in 2016 (removing SRI from the school timetable and making it an extracurricular activity), we have been unable to maintain the regular delivery of this service.
Arkan Toledo remains the only accredited Islamic SRI provider, and can be approached about offering limited SRI programs. You can do this by completing the Get in Touch with Us form.
Our team is now focused on delivering a new series of educational programs to support Victorian students of all backgrounds, faiths and beliefs through our initiative Count Us In.
Count Us In is our latest initiative, offering educational programs that empower students to feel confident in their identity, and to become active participants in their school and community.
