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.

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

Students are required to take a placement test to determine which grade level they will be placed in. The test is computerized and is administered once the application, supporting documentation, and application fee have been submitted.

The following documents are required at the time of application: Birth certificate, immunization records, information about the previous school, previous report card(s). You can read more on the requirements on our Admission Process page.

Based on the placement test, if a student does not qualify to enter the desired grade level, then parents have the opportunity to request a second test. Only two placement test attempts are allowed.

If a parent submits all of the required documentation and fee at the time of application, and if the student places in the appropriate grade level upon the first attempt, then the admission process can be completed within 2-4 weeks, In Shaa Allah.
