Best Environment, best heroes we call teachers and best deals when it comes to money. Tuition is way less than other private schools that are supported financially by the state and other government institutions. With the reasonable fees the school charges, it offers ample of knowledge, support and kindness to all. Above all, with the dual program ANA is part of, the students and parents save thousands of dollars after transferring their college credits earned during their years of dual study. My only regret that ANA didn’t exist 50 years ago. Thanks to everyone who was and is part of ANA, you’re real Heros!
Asalamualykum, I would like to write this review as a response to the below criticism towards the Islamic Studies course at Al-Noor Academy. I am currently enrolled at Al-Noor and would like to respectfully disagree with all the criticism of the Islamic Studies course. First off, the statement that the Islamic Studies course contains no syllabus or plan is simply false. Every year we begin the course with an introduction and thesis of the course, beginning with aqidah (belief), followed by fiqh (how to apply Islam in specific circumstances/jurisprudence), and lastly Sirah (life and journey of Prophet, Sahabah, and tabieen,) and I can attest that those topics were consistently and thoroughly followed. Secondly, your complaint that students ask random questions is wrong. The questions are not random; they are about Islam. Secondly, every Muslim deals with matters of Islam everyday, and sometimes we have some questions about the deen. Because of this (continued on next comment),
As an Al-Noor student, I feel obliged to clarify, by my own will, some of the shocking fabrications that were alluded to in a few previous reviews. Being an Islamic school, Al-Noor prides itself on the teaching and understanding of Islam's holy book, the Quran. As can easily be seen on the school’s official website, students are not simply taught by a record player, at all. The Beginners, Intermediate, and Advanced courses are taught at different levels by three qualified teachers. The "record player" in reality consists of recordings which helps students struggling in the beginner’s course to read and pronounce the Arabic properly without mistakes. Historical context, translation, and derivement of rules are all explained along with the organized New Memorization, Old, and Recent review curriculum, with students being assisted individually. I found it shocking to see that any parent would really be able to believe that Al-Noor students are taught solely by a record player...
