Al-Ameen College (formerly known as Langford Islamic College) is an independent Islamic co-educational primary and secondary day school, located in Langford, a southern suburb of Perth, Western Australia. It opened in 2004 and as of 2023 has 1,120 students.[2]
In 2021, the college changed its name to Al-Ameen College in preparation of opening a future campus outside of Langford,[3] and began construction of a campus in Malaga. This campus, known as Malaga campus, is set to open in February 2026.[4] It will initially cater for grades K–6, but may also cater for high-school grades in future.[5]
Following a 2015 Australian Government audit of funding for Islamic schools,[6][7] Al-Ameen College retained A$4.9 million, equivalent to A$5.8 million in 2022, in government funding after changes were made to its governance structure.[8]
