A 24-Hour Education Model
To become a center of attraction in modern education through a “24-hour education” model built on affection and respect within a boarding environment.
We are more than just a school—we are a nurturing institution rooted in the teachings of the Qur’an and Sunnah according to the understanding of Ahl al-Sunnah wa’l-Jama’ah. We provide our students with a strong foundation for success in both this life and the Hereafter.
Dedicated to educating students who are both academically accomplished and spiritually strong, the school centers its approach on teaching, research, learning, and community service — while advancing knowledge in both academic and religious fields.
Within a safe, carefully supervised campus where students' well-being and daily lives are looked after, Isabet Academy aims to raise individuals of strong character: aware of the purpose of their creation, beneficial to themselves, their families, and society, and deeply committed to national, moral, and ethical values.
To become a center of attraction in modern education through a “24-hour education” model built on affection and respect within a boarding environment.
To keep pace with the demands of a rapidly changing world, without compromising the core principles that make the institution strong.
To continually develop as we learn, advancing step by step toward excellence together with everyone — from teachers to students.
To contribute meaningfully to building a healthy, strong, and civilized society for the future.
Our mission is to develop well-educated and spiritually strong individuals — in North America and beyond — through teaching, research, learning, community service, and the advancement of knowledge in both academic and religious fields.
We raise generations of strong character who understand the purpose of their creation and act accordingly; who are beneficial to themselves, their families, and their nation; and who hold firm national and moral values — within a safe environment where every aspect of our students’ daily lives is kept under careful supervision.
To be a respected educational institution — grounded in moral and cultural values, and one our community is proud to belong to — with an understanding of education that helps shape the world.
Dear Parents and Visitors,
Since the day it was founded, Isabet Academy has set out with a single question: what can we truly give a child? Over the years, our answer has become ever clearer — an identity beyond knowledge, a character beyond academic success, and a true home beyond a school. Here, our students do not simply attend classes; they grow, mature, and discover themselves within a life woven from Islamic values.
This journey, which began in 2017 with 50 students, has today grown into an institution with a boarding capacity of 100 — and one that aims to serve 200 students by 2027. This growth is not merely a growth in numbers, but the growth of a vision. Along the way, our school has been evaluated by an internationally recognized body and has received accreditation from the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools for all grade levels from 4th through 12th grade — an independent confirmation of the quality of the education we provide. This accreditation assures families that our students receive an education meeting international standards not only spiritually, but academically as well.
Academically, our students follow an online school platform through which every student's coursework is followed one-on-one, and progress is measured regularly with weekly tests and personalized digital tools such as IXL. In addition, we provide over 550 hours of religious education each year; through subjects such as Qur'an, tajweed, fiqh, the Arabic sciences, and sirah, every student gains a deep Islamic foundation suited to their own level. Performing the five daily prayers in congregation, encouraging voluntary (nafilah) worship, and carrying out this entire process under the guidance of an experienced imam in line with the Ahl al-Sunnah creed allow our students to embrace what they learn not merely as information, but as a way of life.
What most distinguishes Isabet Academy from other Islamic schools is that the education it offers is not superficial, but lived. While many Islamic schools limit religious education to class hours alone, we offer our students a 24/7 Islamic atmosphere. Technology use is consciously limited, a boarding-life order suited to modesty and privacy is carefully preserved, and character education is carried far beyond the classroom walls. All of our teachers have completed the Takamul program and hold ijazah (certification). Three 100% halal, nutritious, and balanced meals are served each day, and personal responsibility, self-discipline, and time management are made an inseparable part of daily life.
We support our students' social and personal development with the same care. Through a rich program of activities — from Six Flags trips to university visits, from wrestling practice to cultural festivals — our students build healthy relationships with one another while preparing for life in society. Our team, made up of administrators and teachers who graduated from well-established institutions such as Harvard, Wilmington, Bilkent, and METU, serves in a range of languages including Turkish, English, Arabic, Burmese, and Indonesian, creating an inclusive environment where every student feels they belong.
When we look at our graduates, we find our greatest motivation. From our school — which to date has raised 3 Hafizes and 28 Takamul graduates — 58 students have been placed at prestigious American universities such as Rowan University, Temple University, Penn State University, George Mason University, and the University of Maryland. Our graduates who complete the Takamul program and receive their ijazah go on to serve as full-time staff at our school, guiding the next generation. This cycle is the finest proof that Isabet Academy is not merely a school, but a living community that continually renews and grows itself.
I invite you and your children to be part of this meaningful journey. Isabet Academy will continue to offer an education that serves happiness in both this world and the hereafter — with the warmth of a true home.
