Community
It takes a community to educate a child
The concept of community is intrinsic to Muslim life and culture. We firmly believe the responsibility for educating children in the Islamic way of life extends beyond the classroom; it requires an aligned network of parents, board members, donors, alumni and the local community.
We encourage engagement and open communication among all stakeholders in the Crescent community – with the ultimate goal of preparing students to be leaders for life and eternity
“The zeal and interest of the parents, and the involvement and commitment of the teaching staff and administration, is nothing but phenomenal.” M. Masood Rab, senior trustee
Students
Our goal at school, and in working with parents and students at home, is to nurture and develop young people to live as effective, upright citizens who make their communities better in accordance with Islamic values. A high standard of Islamic conduct is expected of students attending Crescent Academy, as described in our Code of Conduct.
Parents
Achieving our mission requires parents’ involvement. Parents who are active, engaged and volunteer contribute to a better overall student experience. Ours is an open school; Parents are welcome to visit the school at any time (although not during the current COVID-19 pandemic) and observe our daily activities.
Friends of Crescent
