At a Glance

An Affordable Islamic Education in the Heart of Brooklyn

Best suited for

Families in Brooklyn (or willing to commute there) seeking an affordable Islamic education for their young children, where religious values and academic preparation go hand in hand. Particularly well-matched for parents who want a small, community-oriented school with strong parental involvement and don't need a school with decades of accreditation history.

What stands out

Islamic religious instruction integrated into daily curriculum
Very affordable private school tuition ($4,000–$6,000)
Small class sizes — personal attention is built in
Qur'an Competition program
Tutoring and NYS exam preparation included
Positive parent reviews (4.3 GreatSchools, 5.0 Yelp)

Things to consider

Advanced Ed certification is still in process — worth asking the school about timeline
Only serves Pre-K through 5th grade — families need a transition plan for middle school
As a faith-based school, admissions may prioritize families aligned with its Islamic mission
Limited online reviews (6 on GreatSchools) means you're relying on a small sample
The neighborhood is dense and urban — families preferring a quieter or more suburban setting may need to adjust expectations

IdentityIslamic Education Means The School Integrates Qur'An Study, Islamic Values, And Character Development Into Its Curriculum Alongside Core Academic Subjects. Families Choosing This School Are Looking For An Environment Where Faith And Learning Go Hand In Hand.

A small, faith-based school rooted in Islamic education, serving young children from Pre-K through 5th grade. This is a school where religious instruction is woven into the daily experience — not an afterthought.

CommunityAs A Faith-Based School With A Specific Religious Identity, Student Body Is Likely Concentrated Among Families Sharing Islamic Tradition. This Isn'T A Drawback — It Means Shared Values — But It'S A Different Kind Of Diversity Than You'D Find At A Nonsectarian Progressive School.

With small class sizes reflected in limited online reviews, parents describe a tight-knit community where teachers know students by name. The 4.3 GreatSchools rating (from 6 reviews) and 5.0 Yelp rating indicate strong parent satisfaction, though the small sample size means you're getting a signal from a modest community.

NeighborhoodSunset Park (West)

Sunset Park (West) is a densely populated, working-class neighborhood in southwestern Brooklyn with a significant immigrant population — many families of Arab, South Asian, and Latino descent. It's a neighborhood where multigenerational households are common and community ties run deep.

The school sits on 3rd Avenue in a walkable, transit-rich pocket of Sunset Park. Families in the neighborhood can easily walk or take the subway; commuting from outside the area requires navigating Brooklyn's traffic patterns.
