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.
The school opened in 2004 and as of 2023 has 1,120 students.[3]
Following a 2015 Australian Government audit of funding for Islamic schools,[4][5] Al-Ameen College retained $4.9 million in government funding after changes were made to its governance structure.[6]
In 2021, the college changed its name to Al-Ameen College in preparation of opening a future campus outside of Langford.[7]
