Our steadfast dedication to delivering top-tier education to the community commenced in 2011, initially with a modest enrollment of 12 students spanning various grade levels. Over the subsequent years, our institution has experienced remarkable growth, currently catering to a student body exceeding 460 individuals.
Our academic focus encompasses students in the Elementary (KG-5) and Secondary (6-12) grades, ensuring a rigorous curriculum in core subjects, the Qur'an, and Religious Studies. Notably, our program affords students the unique opportunity to learn and commit the entire Qur’an to memory, achieving the esteemed status of Hafiz or Hafiza of Qur'an. Furthermore, participants have the chance to earn college credits toward an Associate Degree while concurrently fulfilling high school diploma requirements.
In addition to our academic offerings, Hifz Academy provides a diverse range of after-school programs, including basketball, soccer, volleyball, and judo.
