A nurturing Islamic education in Dearborn.
Strong academics, daily Arabic and Islamic Studies, and teachers who know every child by name. MAYA is the school of the Islamic Center of America family.
To provide a high-quality education for our students: nurturing cognitive skills for academic and character growth, and instilling deeply rooted Islamic values that help them achieve success.
Dedicated teachers, parents, and community work as one to inspire students who are devout, independent, creative, and compassionate Muslims, enthusiastic about learning.
Three programs, one continuous path.
From the first day of preschool to 8th grade graduation, every year builds on the last.
Preschool
Play-based beginnings in a warm, faith-filled room. Early literacy, numeracy, and Quran, with plenty of time to be little.
Elementary
An integrated, interactive curriculum that holds high academic standards while character grows alongside them.
Middle School
Rigorous preparation for high school and beyond, with mentorship that keeps faith and identity strong through the middle years.
Many schools treat Arabic as an elective. At MAYA it is part of every school day, from Pre-K through 8th grade, taught alongside Quran and Islamic Studies by dedicated faculty.

High academic standards
An integrated, interactive curriculum that asks more of students and gives them the support to meet it.
Outstanding faculty
Experienced teachers and a sound student-teacher ratio, so no child learns from the back row.
A nourishing Islamic environment
Faith and character are strengthened through the rhythm of the school day, not added on after it.
A true partnership
Teachers, parents, and community raising children together, the way it has always worked best.
People your children will know by name.
Thirty-three educators, and small enough classes that every one of them knows your child.
Plus a leadership team of five, led by Principal Zeinab Ismail.

Come see an ordinary school day. We think it speaks for itself.
