OUR SCHOOL'S PRAYER
About Us
The Az-Zahraa Islamic Academy provides a safe and nurturing environment that fosters exemplary Islamic education and strong academic achievement. Islamic learning inculcates “taqwa” (God consciousness) and is based on the teachings of the Quran, Holy Prophet (S), and the Ahl al-bayt (as) according to the Twelver Sh’i school of thought. This builds a confident foundation of Muslim identity. Provision of a high caliber secular education includes excellence in academics. Children are motivated to attain their potential through curiosity and a desire for learning. We strive to meet the needs of all children and support ALL in an equitable environment.
