Testimonials

NIA Alumni

“Being in NIA during the most formative years of my adolescence gave me the confidence to be comfortable in my skin as a Muslim teenage girl going through a high school where no one looked like me. Being surrounded by a strong, inspiring, and supportive community of Muslims created a sense of pride in my faith-and myself- that I’ve been able to carry throughout my life.”

NIA Parent

“We support NIA with monthly donations because we believe in NIA's Islamic Whole Child approach to learning in an Islamic environment. We send our child to school with the peace of mind knowing that she is getting the best education in the only accredited Islamic school in the area.”                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

NIA Supporter and Advocate

“I choose to support NIA because I believe it provides the best combination and balance of academics and Islamic teachings with the 'Whole Child' model, where our children study and play in an Islamic environment as they learn to become more confident about themselves and are not bullied.”                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

NIA Elementary Student

“I like being with my friends and my teacher. We get to do really cool projects and learn to be a kind person.”                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

NIA Middle School Student

“NIA is a special school because you get to pray, study the Quran and Islamic studies. In other schools, you wouldn't be able to do that.”                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

NIA High School Student

“This high school at NIA is like having the same high school experience at any other place. The only difference is that it is encompassed with Islamic morals.”
