The ISSI Mission
The first & only Classical Full-Time Islamic School in New York
To produce life-long learners who are devoted to the practice of Islam, confident in their convictions, and driven to fulfill their ultimate purpose.
To provide a nurturing Islamic environment where students receive high-quality instruction, develop a strong foundation in their faith, and grow into confident, articulate Muslims. We are committed to shaping life-long learners who embody the values of Islam, think critically, lead with integrity, and remain firmly rooted in their identity while navigating the challenges of the modern world.
The ISSI Vision
To provide quality instruction and foster a safe environment in which we cultivate a community that is rooted in an Islamic worldview—one that empowers students to thrive spiritually, intellectually, and morally.
We envision a generation of students who are proud of their faith, strong in their identity, and confident in their ability to lead with integrity in the Western world. Our school aims to be a place where students grow into principled leaders, critical thinkers, and articulate voices for truth—resilient in the face of societal pressures and guided by the values of Islam in every decision they make.
By nurturing hearts and minds, we strive to raise individuals who are not only successful in this world but committed to their ultimate purpose in the hereafter.
