  • Are your teachers certified to teach in the USA?

    We take great care in selecting teachers who not only have knowledge and experience in the education field, but have also infused the Islamic character into their personalities. Many of our teachers were born or raised in the United States and therefore have unique insights into the experiences of the Al-Huda student body.

    Our teachers are professional, dedicated, and innovative. They care about the children, and the children care about them. Our instructors are all degree holders from some of the finest universities and institutions in the area. However, this is not the only qualification that makes our teachers what they are. It is their dedication to the Islamic lifestyle that makes them much more: role models.

  • Do students need physical textbooks?

    Students do not need physical textbooks, they will be using e-books.

  • Does your school offer financial aid?

    We do not offer financial aid at this time, we have lowered our tuition per year.

  • After graduation, will my child be accepted to good colleges?

    The graduates of Al-Huda will be accepted to any college of their choice In shaa Allah. The graduates of the Al-Huda School will be prepared to make positive contributions to their families, community, and society as a whole. They will also be able to continue to further their personal growth emotionally and spiritually and pursue higher learning that will lead to fulfilling careers. In addition, they will develop the skills that will strengthen their Islamic identity, and help them to reach success in the Hereafter, in accordance with the teachings of the Qur’an and Sunnah.

  • What curriculum is used at AGS?

    It combines the high standards of Maryland State Standards with Arabic, Qur’an, and Islamic Studies. Using proven instructional methods based on understanding and the latest educational technology, teachers provide students with an enriched academic experience. Math, Science, Social Studies, and all other subjects draw from Islam to reinforce the idea that all knowledge is a continuum, and that all of it comes from Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala.
