Mission Statement
As members of the IAGH community, our mission is to foster an academic curriculum geared towards supporting students in developing their identities as American Muslims and contributing members of society.
About us
The school offers classes from Preschool thru Grade 12 on Sundays from 10:30-1:15. The school day is divided into two classes-Quranic Arabic and Islamic Studies. Students are taught to read and write in Arabic through a comprehensive Quranic Curriculum and are expected to read, understand and memorize the surahs. The Islamic Studies Curriculum is aligned with students grade and reading level, and students are expected to reflect on the teachings/principles of Islam and how they relate to their lives. Students are also encouraged to participate in school competitions such as the Calligraphy competition as well as the Islamic Quiz competition.
