The true value of a school is measured not within its walls, but in the lives of its graduates. Since the day we were founded, the most important question we at Isabet Academy have asked has always been the same: Who do our students become after they leave school? Today, we share the answer to that question with pride…
Traces of Isabet at America’s Established Universities
Our graduates from Isabet Academy are now reaping the fruits of the strong academic and Islamic foundation they received at some of America’s most prestigious universities.
Rowan University, Temple University, Penn State University, George Mason University, the University of Maryland, and the University of New Hampshire — these are well-established, highly competitive institutions that stand out on America’s educational map. And our graduates take their place in the classrooms, laboratories, and libraries of these universities as individuals who think, create, and make their presence felt.
To date, 58 of our graduates have been admitted to university.
58 young people. 58 separate lives. 58 separate stories. Yet they all share one common starting point: the years they spent at Isabet Academy and the values they gained during those years.
Beyond Academic Success: An Identity
What sets our graduates apart from other university students is not only the diploma they earn, but also the identity they carry. The years spent at Isabet Academy prepare a student not just for exam success, but to stand tall in every area of life, to speak the truth, and to feel responsible toward their community.
On university campuses, our graduates live out their Muslim identity with confidence, build friendships, and take the lead in community activities. They do not represent an institution — they represent a character. This is Isabet Academy’s most precious outcome.
Huffaz and Takamul Graduates: Guardians of Knowledge
Alongside academic success, our graduates who have completed their religious education at the highest level are also pursuing a remarkable and inspiring journey.
To date, our school has produced 3 huffaz and 28 Takamul graduates.
Our 3 students who have memorized the Quran experienced firsthand just how much patience, determination, and sacrifice this journey requires. Every page, every verse, every repetition was, for these graduates, both an act of worship and a school of discipline.
Our 28 graduates who completed the Takamul — Advanced Islamic Studies program earned their ijazah (certification), securing a firmly rooted place in the Islamic sciences. This program encompasses in-depth study in fields such as Quranic exegesis (tafsir), hadith, jurisprudence (fiqh), and creed (aqidah), instilling in graduates not only knowledge but also a deep sense of scholarly responsibility.
Is Graduation an End? No — It’s a Beginning
One of the most meaningful opportunities we offer graduates who complete Isabet Academy’s Takamul program is the chance to join our institution as full-time staff.
This practice is far more than an ordinary hiring process. It is a cycle — one of the finest examples of knowledge being passed from one generation to the next. Yesterday’s student becomes today’s teacher. Yesterday’s mentee becomes today’s mentor. This cycle carries Isabet Academy beyond being merely a school, transforming it into a living, growing community of knowledge.
By serving at the school, our graduates build their own futures while guiding the next generation. This continuity is one of our institution’s greatest strengths.
The Story Behind the Numbers
58 university graduates. 3 huffaz. 28 Takamul graduates. These numbers are not mere statistics — they are human stories.
Each one stepped through these doors carried by a family’s prayers. Each one lived through hard days, carried doubts, and grew weary at times. But what they learned at Isabet Academy went beyond the knowledge in their textbooks; they also learned how to overcome hardship, how to stand firm in their own values, and what truly matters in life.
We See Our Progress Through Our Graduates
Every time we begin a new academic year, we ask ourselves: Where will these children be in 10 years? What will they be doing? Who will they become?
And every graduation season, when we look back over the years, we see the return on the effort we have poured in. This sight makes us both humble and resolute — to raise more huffaz, to produce more Takamul graduates, to build a better future for more young people.
