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.

Yes. If the student leaves the school for any reason that is not urgent (such as a medical issue or traveling oversees); a re-registration fee of $25 will be required before readmitting.

• Because our time with students is limited, we stress the importance of being on time for class.  Students should be in their classes 5 minutes before class starts.
• All parents are to legally park their cars in the parking lot and come into the school to drop off their children. For the safety of the children, we don’t want the children crossing the parking lot unattended while other cars are arriving.
• Parents should arrive no later than five minutes after the end of the school to pick up their kids.
• For the safety of students, parents are required to pick up their kids from class instead of picking them up outside.
• Students will not be allowed to leave with anyone other than their parents unless the parents have designated someone else to pick them up on their behalf.

The category break down of the total class grade for all levels is as follows:

• Test/Exams: 40%
• Homework: 15%
• Quizzes: 15%
• Attendance: 10%
• Class Participation: 5%
• Behavior: 5%
  

Progress report will be sent out at the mid of the semester so the student and the parents know the child performance and areas of strength and weakness.  Teachers may request teacher/parent conferences to address concerns and address questions.

Each student will receive a Final report card at the end of the semester.  The report will include some information on the class level for the next semester.

Parents are asked to pack lunch and snack for their child. No food is available for purchase nor will the school provide food and or snacks.

If severe weather or any other emergency forces the school to close, parents will be notified via emails and school website.
