On August 9th 2017, The Islamic Academy of Alabama opened its doors and welcomed 212 students to its 21st year educating students in a safe, stimulating, Islamic environment.
IAA strives to continue to pave the roads of a future of opportunities for its students by further developing school events and activities. IAA’s 2017-2018 Mission Focus is to inspire character building, develop leadership, promote comfort through reading, and enhance technology classroom incorporation.
- Character Building: This year, IAA’s theme of the year is Fairness. Where students and teachers are encouraged to teach, enforce and model fairness throughout the year.
- Promote Reading: IAA’s IQRA program aims to encourage its students to be independent and self-selected readers. This year we aspire to exceed last year’s goal of over half a million school-wide reading minutes.
- Enhancing Technology: The Islamic Academy of Alabama strives to provide a progressive range of learning options to accommodate each individual student’s academic strengths and weaknesses, and also their interest. Therefore, IAA has worked towards incorporating technology in its classrooms. This year, every middle and high school student will be given the opportunity of daily Chromebooks educational use.
- Leadership Opportunities: At IAA, we aim to develop student leadership through various school activities and curriculum such as student council, Jummah Khatib, and peer mentoring. Student leaders are inspired to model commendable attitude, value, and behavior.
We, the IAA Family, will continue to celebrate IAA’s past, glorify IAA’s present, and mold IAA’s future.
Sincerely,
Ziyad Awad
IAA Principal
