The teachers are very interactive with the students and have no trouble reevaluating questions inquired by students who don't understand the lesson on the prior explanation. This school also offers many opportunities to build your leadership skills. The school offer a variety of competition including but not limited to Art, Debate, Science, and Poetry. Moreover, this school provides an Islamic environment, where students feel safe, learn more about their religion, and find their true self. In my experience, the teacher’s welcome newcomers warmly, and they attempt to strike a conversation with any new students without the person attempting to fit in or feeling insecure. There have been no cases of bullying, as, due to how the school is not crowded, the students get along and are very close with each other. Overall, it is an amazing environment and an institution where the students can be comfortable and interact with teachers to rise to the top. We always had peace of mind knowing kids are doing academic achievement along with learning ethical values.

As a parent Al-Iman school is a wonderful, safe, and Islamic environment for my daughter. I realized my daughter's improvement in Education and Islamic studies. The school provides them with a lot of activities and competitions to develop an active and creative mind. It's amazing to see how much the teachers care about the student's studies and support them all the way to the end.

This school has been fortified substantially since the new administration took initiative and began refining the school. The teachers are very interactive with the students and have no trouble reevaluating questions inquired by students who don't understand the lesson on the prior explaination. This is due to the small yet comfortable class size. The school provides clubs that students could participate in, competitions for debates, poetry, and other activities to hook the students into working to achieve triumph. Heritage day is also a project worked towards prior to the event that provides students with knowledge about cultures. The school is opened for all religions/sects despite it's Islamic display. Non muslims are known to still be comfortable in the environment provided for them. There has been zero cases of bullying, as, due to how the school is not crowded, the students get along and are very close with each other. In my experience, the students welcome newcomers warmly, and they attempt to strike a conversation with any new students without the person attempting to fit in, or feeling insecure. Overall, it is an amazing environment and an institution where the students are able to be comfortable and interact with teachers to rise to the top.

I’ve been at Al-Iman school for seven years. When I first entered the school everyone welcomed me with a big smile and open hearts, I felt like I was at home. Everyone there is like a family we help each other and care about each other. This school has provided me with a safe Islamic environment and a proper education that made me a better person and a successful student. Al-Iman school provides students with many activities and advantages that will assist the students in advancing their education as well as enhancing their skills and talents. The principal, teachers, and staff members dedicate an enormous amount of efforts to improve the school and devote incredible attention to enhance the student’s educational level. Being at Al-Iman school is one of the blessings that Allah (S.W.T) had given me.

Al-Iman school is a wonderful environment that is accepting of all religions and cultures. The teachers work with the students closely to ensure they receive the best education and recently the school has added multiple A.P Classes for high schoolers so that we can get a grasp of what college will require from us. Throughout the past few years, the school has been renovating to make the space more welcoming and comfortable for students. The school gym has just been redone and looks so nice that it has inspired the students to work alongside the staff to organize a basketball team. The hallways are decorated with marble tiles, the classes have received upgraded Smartboards, the computer lab is equipped with better, newer computers, and within the past 2 months, the school has printed ID cards for each student to enhance our lunch experience.

This school is improving positively, academically, and discipline wise under the new Principal. Many great changes have been brought in the last two years and still a lot more to be expected. My son studied there 7 years. we only left the school because we were moving out of town. Very friendly, safe, disciplined and secure environment. We always had peace of mind knowing kids are doing academic achievement along with learning ethical values. All the kids are respectful to all elders. parents are also involved with extracurricular activities. I just wish all the best to the school. Principal and all staff is doing tramendous job on such a low budget.

This is the 4th year my son is in the school. I ask him every year if he would like transfer to public school but he always says no. He is doing well in school, all 90s. I think they spend too much money on fanfare, trophies. I get that the student enrollment is low, but they need to invest in other extracurricular activities. The school needs sports. Maybe add an after school program with Karate, basketball, chess, math club, science club. I believe students will enjoy this and I know some of the parents will like to pick them at 5pm instead. They should try to add college level class like AP English and Math. Also SAT prep.
