AL-HAMRA ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL

Al-Hamra Academy launched its high school program for the 2025-2026 academic year. This marks a significant milestone in Al-Hamra Academy’s journey, and we are excited to share this momentous occasion with you.

Our Vision for the Future

For 30 years, Al-Hamra Academy has been dedicated to nurturing young minds in a faith-centered environment. Building on our strong foundation as New England's first NEASC accredited and STEM-certified Islamic school, we have built a strong foundation of academic excellence. Now, we are expanding to welcome Grade 9/10 students into our innovative high school program. Our high school will continue to embody the values and educational excellence that Al-Hamra Academy is known for, while introducing new and exciting opportunities for our students.

 

What Sets Our High School Program Apart

  • Integration of Faith and Education: Our curriculum seamlessly integrates faith with Massachusetts standards-based education, offering transferable courses that prepare students for college and beyond.

  • Project-Based Interdisciplinary Learning: Students will engage in real-world problem-solving and interdisciplinary projects, fostering critical thinking and creativity.

  • Content Expert Faculty: Our courses will be taught by faculty with expertise in their respective fields, ensuring a high-quality educational experience.

  • Robust Islamic Studies Curriculum: Our program includes comprehensive courses in Islamic Philosophy, History, and Quranic Arabic, supporting the development of a strong Islamic identity.

  • Identity Development: We are committed to helping students develop a strong sense of self and purpose, grounded in Islamic values.

 

Building for the Future

As we embark on this exciting new chapter, we are also expanding our building to accommodate the high school program. This expansion will provide facilities and resources to support our students' learning and development.

We invite you to support this initiative in any way you can, whether through donations, volunteering, or spreading the word about our high school program. By choosing Al-Hamra Academy, you are providing your children with an education that not only meets academic standards but also nurtures their spiritual and personal growth.
