This school is not one that has been assessed in a thorough way to make necessary improvements and positive changes for the benefit of all students. They have a Sunni track and they have a Shia track for students to learn Islamic Studies. It's a Muslim School. It's not a Sunni School. It's not a Shia School. Why should Muslim students be separated to learn about Islam or Islamic Studies based on two major schools of thoughts that all children should be learning about and learning from? MCS/Alim Academy hires teachers who demonstrate incompetent teaching and unsafe practices putting Allah's impressionable beings and parents' children at great risk. I don't recommend any parent enroll his/her child in this school. Find a school that your child is deserving of.
