Al-Hadi School provides academic excellence in an Islamic environment that develops the mind, body, and soul, where behavior is highly stressed along with academic achievement.
In March of 1995 at the behest of the community members a "
School Committee" was formed for the purpose of looking into
establishing a year round school that would operate under Islamic
principles. As work progressed, the Islamic Education Board (IEB)
was formed, chaired by a Resident Scholar. The community`s
vision and dream came to fruition when Al-Hadi School of
Accelerative learning was established.On January 9th, 1996, the
school opened its doors with a center-based environment prepared
for 3-6 year olds. By August of that year, the school was ready to
accept students in PreK-Grade5 in a regular educational program. In
2001, the school embarked on extensive renovations project.
That year, the school added middle and high school classrooms, two
science labs, a computer lab, a cafeteria and an auditorium. At the
other end of the spectrum, the preschool added the Toddler
classroom for children as young as 18 months in 2002. The preschool
playground was modified to accommodate the needs of these youngest
students. Further, the school continued to add grades each
year until Al-Hadi School graduated its first class of Seniors in
2004. Over the years, the
school continued to add to the facility and programs. The ESL
program was introduced to cater to LEP (Limited English
Proficiency) students. The Physical Education department added a
basketball court, a small soccer field and elementary playground
equipment, to provide increased opportunities for outdoor activity
for students. In 1999, the hot lunch program was introduced to
ensure healthy and nutritious meals were served to the students.In
the area of extracurricular activities, the school began to compete
in the annual SIM City Competition (part of the National Engineers
Week program). In 1999, AHS team advanced to the National
Competition and represented the school, in Washington, DC. Since
then the school continues to participate in the contest. Al-Hadi
has also competed yearly, in academic contests through the Private
Schools Interscholastic Association (PSIA) since 2003, and has been
placed 1st in both elementary and middle school divisions within
its district over the last two years.

milestone in 2001 when it was awarded accreditation by the Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools (www.sacscasi.org). Six years
later, in May 2007, the school was recognized as an "Exemplary

Al-Hadi School is Awesome! My son is at UH now, but started back in 2002 at Pre K. We build the foundation and now we don't have to worry about teaching him Halal and Haram or prayers as he could learn and practice now since he was a kid. The teachers are amazing and are always there for you. As soon as your kids walk in to school, everyone knows their names, and It has a family-like atmosphere with everyone. Now my little 2 kids go to Al Hadi 3 grades. Recommend to everyone because this is the best investment you can do for your child and when they grow older, you will realize that you made the best investment to your kids.

The academic standards are also amazing with a 1470 as the average SAT score for the senior class. I would definitely recommend sending your kids here.
