The teachers are highly knowledgeable in both Islamic teachings and contemporary education. They are committed to nurturing well-mannered students and fostering good moral character, which is often missing in public schools today. An-Noor Academy provides a well-balanced education.

I am a former An-Noor Academy student and they helped me memorize surahs, learn how to pray, be a good Muslim etc. They had daily prayer times where students would go to make wudu and then they would pray in the masjid. They have nice teachers, and it is a comforting environment.
