BACKGROUND

Bright Horizon Academy is the only private Islamic academic institution in the area that is built with the mission to provide academic excellence in an Islamic environment. While the primary focus is to provide excellent education, the school recognizes the vital importance in providing guidance and creating a culture of learning about, and loving Islam at an early age. It is a place where a child can develop the invaluable sense of self-worth, pride and cultural identity in a vibrant, well-rounded educational environment as a Muslim.

We also recognize that within the Islamic doctrine and tradition, the important role parents play in the development of the child. At BHA, we’re cognizant of the fact and encourage the mutual effort that must prevail from both parents and teachers in the development and enrichment process of every child.

This is the fourth academic school year, where the school is in its final phase in its application for accreditation. We are using data-driven methodologies to maintain the academic standing of our students and also applying standardized testing and other recognized and established processes to ensure the success of the students throughout the year at BHA. Alhamdullilah, we have been diligently working to comply with Cognia (formerly AdvancedED) , the globally accepted accreditation body that will review, evaluate, and InshaAllah, qualify the school for accreditation.

While adopting the standards of state schools, having Islam as part of our curriculum is what defines us.   The teaching of Arabic, Quran and Sunnah, and allocating prayer times during school hours is part of the Islamic curricula that fulfills the needs of our children and expectations of the parents. All teachers at BHA are certified in their fields, and are both committed and passionate about bringing the best out of every student.

Bright Horizon Academy may be new but our long held vision and desire in establishing an Islamic School has been around for quite a while. We welcome all in the community with this shared vision, to be part of this commitment for a better place of learning for our children’s future.
