Islamic education provides an Islamic perspective in all the disciplines a student learns, and through formal as well as informal means, it cultivates the development of Islamic values, morals, etiquette, manners and a drive for excellence (Ihsan) in all walks of life.
In addition, Islamic education has to prepare a child not only to fullfill his/her basic responsibility but through his/her own example and leadership to undertake the tasks of enjoining the good and eradicating the evil in their society.
Annoor Academy of Knoxville (AAK) is committed to the mission of providing a nourishing and caring environment that draws from the rich heritage of Islam and Islamic traditions, preparing its students as responsible and respectable citizens of the community, the nation and the world at large.
