Charlotte Islamic Academy

Charlotte Islamic Academy offers faith-based education in Charlotte, NC, serving Muslim families for 26 years. Our Islamic school provides a complete educational pathway from daycare and Head Start through college-preparatory upper grades. Students receive comprehensive instruction in core subjects—Math, Science, English Language Arts, Social Studies—plus Arabic language and Quranic studies.

Our signature QAIS Program (Quran, Arabic & Islamic Studies) places students in leveled classes: Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced Arabic instruction. Students master Quran recitation, tajweed, and Islamic studies while developing strong academic foundations.
