SCHOOL PROFILE
IQRA’ ACADEMY is a community of learning based on universal values and character building grounded in the Islamic way of life. The school was founded in 1997 in St. Croix, United States Virgin Islands to provide an educational alternative to Muslims and non-Muslims alike. We prepare students from preschool up to grade twelve, to seek knowledge anchored in faith as a means to transition successfully into college life and beyond. The campus is housed on more than seven acres in a tropical setting framed by neighboring hills and views of the Caribbean Sea.
VISION
The foundation of the Islamic way of life is based on belief and righteous conduct. Faith begins with belief in One God; Allah (Creator of all creations). As a result of this belief we, (The followers), strive to please ALLAH. Islamic education reflects that all knowledge comes from Allah. The evaluation and the application of all knowledge comes from the Qur’an and the example of Prophet Muhammad (SAW). It is this Islamization of traditional knowledge that encourages the development of a positive Islamic identity for students.
MISSION
The mission of IQRA’ ACADEMY is to guide our children toward the full realization of their spiritual, intellectual, physical, emotional, and social potentials as they serve Islam and humanity for the pleasure of Allah (SWT). Our school has a comprehensive program of meaningful, value-based learning experiences in an Islamic environment. We believe that our children can develop the first step here; which is a firm relationship with the Creator- Allah (SWT), followed by the development of Islamic personality capable of identifying, understanding and working cooperatively with others. This will provide our children with a method of solving the problems that they will face as individuals, community members, and as global participants. This is the essence of excellence in Islamic education.
