Culture
Being relatively small, and having evolved from a village school, Irsyad is a close-knit community where everyone knows each other. In fact, the C.E.O. of Irsyad himself, Mr Ahmad Shafai ada Jaafar, or more affectionately known as Pak Utih, repeatedly makes it known that any student is welcome to stop by his office to visit him anytime! Many of the teachers and principals are ex-Irsyad students themselves, and it is not unusual to see recent Irsyad graduates returning to Irsyad to contribute in a range of ways, from organising events for the young ones to mentoring those who are due to take national exams.

Famous quotes containing the word culture:
“If you’re anxious for to shine in the high esthetic line as a man
of culture rare,
You must get up all the germs of the transcendental terms, and plant
them everywhere.
You must lie upon the daisies and discourse in novel phrases of your
complicated state of mind,
The meaning doesn’t matter if it’s only idle chatter of a
transcendental kind.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
“Insolent youth rides, now, in the whirlwind. For those modern iconoclasts who are without culture possess, apparently, all the courage.”
—Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)
“The highest end of government is the culture of men.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
