Al-noor Academy vs. Al-hamra Academy

Islamic Academy of New England (IANE) is a non-profit, tax-exempt, private school founded in September 1996.

Our mission is to provide an education that is rooted in Islamic faith and ideals, that draws upon the noblest Islamic traditions of 'Ilm1, 'Ibadah2, 'Ihsan3 and 'adl4, and that seeks to inculcate these values in our students.

The curriculum, system of discipline, and leisure activities at the Islamic Academy combine knowledge and practice of Islam with the best training in the sciences, humanities and business, so that our students can grow up to be conscientious Muslims, following the sira'at-aI-mustaqeem5; while also aspiring to the highest goals in the vocations they choose.

The objectives of the academic programs at IANE are to form skilled and discerning minds equipped with logical scientific reasoning, trained in basic skills, full of creativity, and prepared for life-long learning.

The Academy makes students proud of achievements by the Muslim scholars in the fields of humanities and sciences and encourages them to excel in their education to advance the mission of their ancestors by contributing to modern day sciences.

Al-Hamra Academy is the first full-time accredited Islamic school in New England.

Our goal is to raise children with a strong intellectual and moral background.

We strive to provide an environment that encourages the cognitive, spiritual, moral, emotional, and physical growth of every student.

We have a well-defined, effective and evolving curriculum that follows the Massachusetts State Frameworks.

We foster spiritual and moral growth in a progressive Islamic environment - an environment that instills in our students the universal values of love, compassion, peace, tolerance, equality, and justice.

Our philosophy reflects our commitment to educate our students to become responsible and productive members of society - instilling civic responsibility in students is one of the goals of the Academy.
