I like the diversity of the students and staff, the passion teachers bring to their teaching and the consistent practice of Islam. Teachers are very warm and encouraging. Miracles happen when students with "issues" come in September and over time are transformed into better students--personality and academics change for the better.

My child has been at Al-Aqsa for 6 years. Some of the teachers are attentive and care about their students education.

The students are at times quite unruly and lack structure when transitioning to different classrooms and other areas. I feel that more male staff member are needed at the school. Overall al aqsa provides an average learning environment.
