Mrs. Lina Thabet
Pre-K Homeroom Teacher
​
All children need a loving and developmentally sound foundation for a lifetime of learning. I have taught at HSA for over ten years and graduated from Al-Qadisyyah College with a degree in Child Care Education. I hold several certifications such as The Child Development Associate National Credentialing Program, CDA Competency Standards, and CPR. Each child has their own unique gift and their own style of learning. So, I work to make my classroom a place where each child has an opportunity to thrive in their own way.

Mrs. Rawan Fares

My name is Sister Rawan, and I am the Second Grade Teacher at Hamzah Science Academy this year. This is my fourth year at Hamzah Science Academy, I previously taught kindergarten for three years and 1st grade for 2 years. I have my B.A. in English Literature and have a strong passion for teaching and children. Spending time with children is one of the most special things that a person can do while having the opportunity to see them grow their minds and expand their knowledge and potential.
Being a part of Hamzah Science Academy is a pleasure and being a part of the student’s life is a blessing. A huge benefit of teaching at an Islamic school is having the responsibility and pleasure of teaching our children about Islamic Character and watching them practice it every day. I am thankful for being a part of the Hamzah community and the children’s lives.​
