The Noor Academy Vision
Please see our latest press release for the most up-to-date information on the steps The Noor Academy is taking to move toward our goals in 2022.
Providing More Than Just an Education
Environment
We want to provide Muslim students with an Islamic environment they may not find in public school. By focusing on the little things, such as group duas (prayers), saying Al hamdullilah (praise be to god) after you sneeze, or even saying As Salamu Alaikum (peace be upon you) to the students, we hope to make a significant impact on the kids and their day-to-day habits.
Character Development
Like giving a person an exquisite sailboat, but not teaching them how to take care of and maintain the sailboat, our children can possess all the knowledge in the world. But unless they are equipped with the character and refinement our Prophet (PBUH) exemplified, this knowledge will not do them any good.
Through the curriculum and mentorship at Noor Academy, we will work to develop the character of our students by integrating manners (akhlaq) into the program of studies.
Identity
Giving our youth an opportunity to create bonds of sisterhood and brotherhood with their fellow Muslim classmates and staff, will help strengthen their identity and give them confidence to approach the world with a strong resolution. Know the history of the scholars who laid the foundation for our generations.
