My kids have been going to Hadi school for years now- My oldest has now transitioned from Hadi to district54 school. It was a seamless transition with her getting in advanced placement in both math and English. My younger two still go to Hadi. They have a robust core and Islamic education curriculum, together with an emphasis on leadership skills that makes for a comprehensive and holistic moulding of the students. They are raising bright, confident and proud Muslims who are equipped and groomed to be contributing members of the society. I highly recommend this school not just for its curriculum, but also so for instilling Islamic values and confidence in its students.

My children have been attending Hadi School since Preschool. My oldest is in 4th grade now. They are very well rounded kids and the older child has recently been excepted into the gifted program. This school is non discriminatory and has children of all races, religions, and affiliations. I am proud to have my children attend such a diverse school academically and socially. I would recommend this school to anyone.
