Al-Ihsan Academy is located in South Ozone Park on Rockaway Boulevard. It is a small school, with around 500-600 students. The school has three different locations, all on Rockaway. The school runs from pre-kindergarten all the way until high school. The school allows students to start high school classes and gain high school credits from the 8th Grade. This allows the students to graduate when they are in 11th Grade rather than 12th Grade, which is contrary to many other high schools. This allows students to get a head start, starting college a year earlier than most.
Al-Ihsan Academy tries its best to create a positive Islamic environment for its students with the limited amount of resources available. There are not many AP classes, no College Now or Calculus classes available. You are not prepared for college. Some teachers do not have degrees in the subjects that they are teaching. There are pieces of hair found in the foods. Sometimes teachers can be condescending, emotional, even abusive in cases, against students who are not the top 10 percent in the class for academics or behavior. Many students are not or motivated to do well. There is an ambiance of laxness and malignant cheating. Some students are humiliated for their academic grades. AIA creates a bubble for its students and teachers. Students are unnecessarily reprimanded for wearing different colored socks. This takes away time from classes. Al Ihsan becomes involved in many private and personal matters of its students. Leave if you can. AIA, change.
Al-Ihsan Academy is a school I have never and will never again experience in my life. With low teacher salaries, I have sometimes questioned why my teachers would stay while there were more opportunities elsewhere. After observing their actions, I have come to the conclusion that they are not teaching for the money, but to help each of their students for the sheer reward of letting another succeed. This quality is one that I have come to admire. Although having some of the best teachers, Al-Ihsan is small compared to other schools. For example, we have 1 basement that is used as our auditorium, lunchroom, and event hall. It's used to the max. But if you really look at this school, you will see it as a cell. A tiny organism that has many parts that make it a whole and in turn helps the body function. The body represents the community, and this school, this tiny, miniature school has ironically helped me grow.
