We are so lucky to have MIA in Ann Arbor - a school in the States that is combining a high standard of teaching with the right teachings of Islam.
The religious teaching was good from the beginning, although now it has become excellent. I am grateful for the devotion of the Principal and the staff who are attempting to be good models of Muslims. Scientific instruction has improved tremendously during the last few years. Sr. Fayzeh is very dedicated and works extremely hard.Most of the teachers are really devoted, and some of them are just great examples of how a good Muslim should be. Because of this in addition to many improvements in the school, I was encouraged to keep my daughter at MIA till she graduates from the MIA high school program. I really thank God Subhanaho Wa Taala for this precious gift of MIA in Ann Arbor.
As a working professional couple, we enrolled our daughter at MIA anticipating the benefits of a Muslim environment, to supplement the beliefs and values we try to cultivate at home. At the same time, we anticipated that the transition from her previous rigorous private Montessori education would mean a trade-off when it came to academic learning.
Three years later, we are thrilled at the quality of the school, teachers, and students, that have challenged her to perform at her peak academically, learn Arabic, memorize the Quran, and has grounded and informed her outlook with sound Islamic sensibilities.
InshaAllah, this
gives her the perfect start to grow into a successful, well rounded and well-adjusted American Muslimah.
The strength of the school draws from what is a great mix - a hard working administration, caring teachers, a supportive PTSA, and a diverse
progressive Muslim community. The care shown the children, and the passion to teach that we all hope to see in the schools of our children, is so evident
at MIA, and we are very grateful indeed. Alhamdullilah!

Parents of an MIA 4th Grader
Grade 8 Parent:My son has had an excellent educational experience at MIA. He has secured solid friendships with fine Muslim peers, Inshallah, and he has developed very well academically. He has always enjoyed a good relationship with his teachers, who have known and cared for him
throughout the years. Studying at MIA has allowed him to develop a consciousness of who he is as a young Muslim. The small class size has allowed for excellent instruction.
Grade 6 Parent:My son has had a wonderful experience at MIA. He is secure in his
Islamic knowledge and has constructive relationships with Muslim peers. He is truly benefiting from the excellent instructors who work with him. May Allah swt reward them all.
Grade 6 Parent:My daughter has progressed very well at MIA academically, thanks to the work of her excellent teachers. This year the Social Studies teacher is bringing lively activities to the classroom, a direct result of her certification program at EMU. The math and science teacher is a veteran certified teacher, full of life, yet
patient and extremely thorough in her teaching. This year,the art program if full of delightful activities. All of these fine academic experiences are combined with a beautiful Quran, Arabic, and Islamic Studies program. To top it all off, my daughter has developed very close friendships with lovely girls from very kind Muslim families.
