TESTIMONIALS

Parents Recommend

Badia Askari

“My eldest son's attendance at AAII Legacy Academy has been a game changer. His matriculation through this program resulted in him not only achieving an in-depth knowledge of the Quran, but also set him apart from other young men his age back home in our community.”

Noni Shabazz

“His Quran teacher inspired him to achieve things he didn't think were possible. The caring nature of the administration gave me the peace of mind I needed while my child was studying so far away.”

Aliyah Mahdi

“My son attended the preschool and he memorized quite a few surahs within the first year. The teachers were professional and the school is modern and updated. I would recommend this school for anyone ready to challenge their child's mind.”
