Our goal is to raise children with a strong intellectual and moral background.
We strive to provide an environment that encourages the cognitive, spiritual, moral, emotional, and physical growth of every student.
We have a well-defined, effective and evolving curriculum that follows the Massachusetts State Frameworks.
We foster spiritual and moral growth in a progressive Islamic environment - an environment that instills in our students the universal values of love, compassion, peace, tolerance, equality, and justice.
Our philosophy reflects our commitment to educate our students to become responsible and productive members of society - instilling civic responsibility in students is one of the goals of the Academy.
