Histories rarely give justice to the brilliant cultural contribution brought forth by Islamic educational development. Islam not only contributed to the corpus of knowledge in medicine, astronomy, & philosophy, but it also enhanced mathematics, music, architecture, and geometry significantly.
Our goal at Meraj Academy is to carry on this tradition of deeply rooted educational excellence by developing a student body that is not only at its intellectual forefront but also embedded with culture & class.
MATHEMATICS & SCIENCES
“WE NEED AMERICAN ENGINEERS & SCIENTISTS”
Like Don Giddens, dean at the Georgia Institute of Technology, we believe that the U.S. advantage is in the intellectually innovative, free-thinking engineers, mathematicians, & scientists we produce. We focus extensively on these cores so we can instill this in our American youth and future.
PHILOSOPHY & RELIGION
We base our approach to religious studies as a foundation on morality & ethics as a "good" to society and culture. It is a pragmatic approach as opposed to a doctrinaire or metaphysical, structured philosophical one. However instilled in peoples as a whole, morality and ethics must exist through some medium of conveyance.
ENGLISH & LITERATURE
“LITERARY PRINCIPLES OF GLOBAL GENRES & PERIODS”
We take a unique methodology on the teaching of English & Literature. We like to captivate the broader understanding of linguistics through the exploration of literary elements through structure, style and themes on a global level in order to foster the deepest understandings of language.
EXTRA CURRICULAR
We are strong advocates in the belief that there is a play-ful & passion component of a well-rounded education -- outside regular academics -- that positively impact students' success. Extracurricular activities, such as sports, debating/ Speech Meet, chess clubs, yearbook, and computer clubs can stimulate students' minds.
