dedicated to providing an
"Exemplary Education in an Islamic Environment."
Our
school helps shape the children's first and lasting ideas about themselves, their religion,
their country, their culture, and the world. We help preserve their Muslim identity, give
structure, substance, and meaning to basic knowledge, and encourage our children's
interest in further learning. Our school's mission is crucial to the growth of Islam, especially
in helping to instill a love of Islam and learning through a balanced and a comprehensive
curriculum that aims to educate the whole child.

"Minaret Academy is like a second home to me. All of my teachers were incredible and taught us in a fun and enjoyable way. They are always ready to help you in any way possible. My favorite memory was being principal for a day."
"Minaret has been my second home, and the teachers and staff are like my family. I feel that I can be myself around the school. Out of all the years in Minaret, I think 6th grade was the best."
