About Us:
Islah believes that by using a balanced instructional approach that teaches the “whole child” (physically, emotionally and spiritually), children can excel academically and socially. By utilizing our students’ natural talents, cultural and linguistic identities, they are able to master core subjects and skills needed to be successful 21st- century learners. Islah emphasizes a curriculum that teaches leadership skills such as, conflict resolution, motivating self and others, problem analysis and solving, effective communication, relationship-building and critical thinking. Students develop strong character and self-esteem through daily practices and community service.

Mission:
To educate Pre-K - 8th grade students by the use of high academic standards, to nurture excellent moral character based on Islamic principles, to cultivate 21st century-skill sets, and to produce leaders with strong commitments to social service based in an affordable private school.

Islah Academy takes the whole-child approach to education. Teachers, administrators, and support staff are trained in culturally relevant pedagogy to meet the intellectual, social, cultural, behavioral, and emotional needs of each and every child we serve.

Vision:
Islah Academy was founded in 2014 by Imam Jihad Saafir and the South LA Muslim Community. Its purpose was to give the children in the Inner City a safe learning environment in which they could learn the Islamic principles and academic knowledge necessary to succeed in their growth.
