SCHOOL PERSONNEL

1. Letter from the Principal

On behalf of my colleagues and the students of Michigan Islamic Academy, Asalamu Alaikum (peace be upon you), and welcome to Michigan Islamic Academy!

At Michigan Islamic Academy, we are committed to providing excellence in education while nurturing Muslim character. We are concerned with the development of the whole child, and so we offer a program of strong academics, diverse extracurricular activities, community service, and fundamental Islamic values for our children. Although we share a common bond through our faith, we respect our students as individuals and celebrate our diversity, which includes a variety of racial and ethnic backgrounds.

Our goal is to strive for academic excellence in an Islamic setting. Michigan Islamic Academy has been providing quality Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12 education to our students for over 20 years. Our alumni are outstanding in their accomplishments, but they are also extraordinary people making a positive difference in the social, political, and economic well-being of their country. The school prides itself on the caring and family-like environment where everyone works hard in an atmosphere that encourages community values, learning as a life-long process, and Islam as a way of life.

With our website www.mia-aa.org we have done our best to give visitors a glimpse of Michigan Islamic Academy. I invite you to personally visit our school to sense and experience firsthand what our school has to offer. I will be happy to sit down and meet with you and your child to answer your questions. I also encourage you to read our newsletter, Notes Home, for up-to-date information and to learn more about events and student accomplishments.

Peace be with you,

 

Fayzeh Madani
