Why teach here

A school that invests in its teachers.

Classes small enough to teach well

A sound student-teacher ratio means you know every child in your room, and you have the room to actually reach them.

Faith and academics, together

Islamic values are woven through the academic program rather than bolted on, so you never have to choose between rigor and identity.

Real professional development

We believe teachers should keep growing too, and we support ongoing development for our staff.

A voice in how we work

Teamwork and shared decision-making among staff, students, and parents is one of our stated commitments, not a slogan.

What we look for

The kind of teacher who thrives here.

Credential requirements vary by role.

✓A bachelor’s degree in education or the subject area
✓Michigan teaching certification, where required
✓Experience teaching the relevant grade level
✓For Arabic and Islamic Studies roles, strong subject fluency
✓A warm, patient presence with children
✓Commitment to our values and Islamic environment
