Who we are
A dream the community built, and has kept building since 1995.
In September 1995 the Toledo Islamic Academy opened with about fifty children and a single wing of classrooms. Today nearly two hundred students in PreK through grade twelve learn on our Sylvania campus — the first Islamic school in Toledo, founded by the Masjid Saad Foundation after years of planning for a genuine college-preparatory education.
Our vision
Empowering students within a healthy, Islamic environment through academic excellence.
Our mission
To develop life-long learners who are responsible and moral citizens within a global community.
Guiding philosophy
Continuous improvement — educating the whole child physically, socially, spiritually, intellectually and emotionally.
