Academy for Arabic and Islamic Studies

Admission is open to all students, male or female, regardless of their background and immigration status. Students must be at least 4 years old by October 1st of the academic year. Also, students are placed in classrooms based on their proficiency in reading and writing Arabic. The decision about such placement depends on student’s score in placement tests.

Students shall be promoted to the next grade level if they are declared “pass” by all subject teachers. Teachers will depend on students’ scores in activities, tests, homework, and attendance to calculate students’ final grades.

In the interest of smooth progress, students are required to attend school regularly. They should not miss school unless there is emergency, medical or family oriented. If no note is turned in, the absence is automatically classified as “unexcused”. Four “unexcused” absences in one semester will result in failing the student and repeating the same level.

There are two semesters per year. The academic year begins in September and ends in May the following year. However, we hold special topic classes during the summer months. There are two different sessions offered at Al-Noor Academy.  One session meets on Saturdays and the other meets on Sundays from 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

At Al Noor Academy we believe that our tuition payments are investment in your child’s education and the formation of their religious foundation. One time registration fee of $30 per student is due at the time of registration. Registration fee is nonrefundable.  

Tuition per month is $80 per child. Tuition payments must paid no later than the second week of each month.  Each bounced check will be charged a $20 fee. No refund of tuition or registration fee is granted if a student drops out any time after registration or attending a class.
