Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy Mission |
|
The mission of the Tarek Ibn Ziyad Academy is to contribute to building a diverse, virtuous and moral America by helping children to understand their stewardship role in the world, embedding in them a sense of care, responsibility, love, tolerance and cooperation. Strengthened by these virtues, our students will be prepared to participate actively in civic life and take leadership roles in their communities. In addition, the Academy aims to help students integrate into American society, while retaining their identity.
As an inspiration to our students, we have named our school after Tarek Ibn Ziyad, the Ummayad administrator of medieval Spain. Thirteen hundred years ago, serving in the multifaceted roles of activist, leader, explorer, teacher, administrator and peacemaker, he inspired his fellow citizens to the same striving for human greatness that we hope to instill in our students today. |

Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy Curriculum |
|
Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy offers every student a comprehensive and balanced education. We provide core courses in English, Math, Science and Social Studies, as well as courses in Technology, Art, Physical Education and Arabic Language. Our learning program and instructional methods differs significantly from those found in typical public schools, in that our teachers regularly monitors students and analyze the results of standardized tests in order to develop an indepth and comprehensive picture of students' strengths and weaknesses. Because we know what individual students need, we can identify children who require further assistance or more challenge, and design teaching approaches that speak to each child's challenges and potential.
