  • In March of 1995 at the behest of the community members a " School Committee" was formed for the purpose of looking into establishing a year round school that would operate under Islamic principles. As work progressed, the Islamic Education Board (IEB) was formed, chaired by a Resident Scholar. The community`s vision and dream came to fruition when Al-Hadi School of Accelerative learning was established.On January 9th, 1996, the school opened its doors with a center-based environment prepared for 3-6 year olds. By August of that year, the school was ready to accept students in PreK-Grade5 in a regular educational program. In 2001, the school embarked on extensive renovations project. That year, the school added middle and high school classrooms, two science labs, a computer lab, a cafeteria and an auditorium. At the other end of the spectrum, the preschool added the Toddler classroom for children as young as 18 months in 2002. The preschool playground was modified to accommodate the needs of these youngest students. Further, the school continued to add grades each year until Al-Hadi School graduated its first class of Seniors in 2004. Over the years, the school continued to add to the facility and programs. The ESL program was introduced to cater to LEP (Limited English Proficiency) students. The Physical Education department added a basketball court, a small soccer field and elementary playground equipment, to provide increased opportunities for outdoor activity for students. In 1999, the hot lunch program was introduced to ensure healthy and nutritious meals were served to the students.In the area of extracurricular activities, the school began to compete in the annual SIM City Competition (part of the National Engineers Week program).

Al-Hadi School is Awesome! My son is at UH now, but started back in 2002 at Pre K. We build the foundation and now we don't have to worry about teaching him Halal and Haram or prayers as he could learn and practice now since he was a kid. The teachers are amazing and are always there for you. As soon as your kids walk in to school, everyone knows their names, and It has a family-like atmosphere with everyone. Now my little 2 kids go to Al Hadi 3 grades. Recommend to everyone because this is the best investment you can do for your child and when they grow older, you will realize that you made the best investment to your kids.
