Something amazing about your school:
For ten years WIA has hosted an annual 5K run for charity organized by our 7th and 8th grade students. Each year students select a charity, and plan, and run the event in honor of a beloved Quran teacher who passed away in 2013. Proceeds are donated in her name as Sadaqah Jariyah.
Quote from a student/parent:
The Islamic environment at WIA is helping to shape our children’s Muslim identity in a positive way. From the little ones saying “Bismillah” before they eat, to the older ones articulating and acting on adab according to the Sunnah, they feel proud to be Muslim! from a WIA parent of 7 years.
