School Profile
Full-time Islamic schools in America represents a shift towards a more comprehensive approach to education through the preservation of Islamic identity and Muslim heritage as part of its curriculum.
We hope to find balance through a defensive and proactive approach to education and character development by shielding and protecting our children from harmful influences that are against Islamic morals, ethics, and values and nurturing their intellectual, emotional, social, and spiritual growth.
Our aim is to produce confident and competent individuals who are able to be part of society and contribute positively without compromising their Islamic beliefs, values, and practice.
