Accreditation

We are thrilled to announce that Al-Huda School and Al-Huda Global School, our online Islamic school, have achieved full accreditation by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools’ Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools (MSA-CESS).

Al-Huda School has been accredited since the Fall of 2007 through 2029, masha'Allah. You can check our accreditation here. Al-Huda Global School has been officially accredited for grades 5-12. Previously accredited for grades 5-11, Al-Huda Global School has undergone a rigorous review process to demonstrate its excellence in all facets of education, and has gotten grade 12 added to its accreditation too.  

This prestigious recognition signifies our commitment to providing a top-tier educational experience that integrates Islamic values with a comprehensive, world-class curriculum. Allahu Akbar!

Dr. Haroon Baqai, the principal of Al-Huda School, expressed, “We are excited for this new chapter! This milestone has motivated us to work even harder to provide the best educational environment for our students, In Sha Allah. I congratulate the staff involved in achieving this wonderful milestone!”

Accreditation is a multifaceted evaluation process that schools and school systems voluntarily use to demonstrate they are meeting a defined set of research-based performance standards. CESS-MSA accredits early childhood through post-secondary, non-degree granting public, private, faith-based educational institutions including special purpose schools, and learning services providers. In its 130 years of operations, CESS-MSA has accredited hundreds of schools in the U.S. and overseas. 

Al-Huda School was the first Islamic School that received its accreditation from CESS-MSA in 2007, Alhamdulillah.
