This mission began by concerned parents who wanted a better alternative for their children’s education.  In 2009 a group of parents got together to combine their efforts and work towards creating an Islamic educational environment which will allow for better future development of their children and their community. We are now proud to say that we are able to fulfill our dream; we have established a fulltime Islamic School Al-Rasheed Academy. 

Al-Rasheed Academy was formed to provide a link between secular and religious education, and to keep the students in touch with their religious and cultural background. Now we have fulltime teachers and a complete curriculum that satisfies New York State education requirements, and teaches Quran, Islamic Studies, and Arabic language.
