IAR Background
The Islamic Academy of Riverside was founded in 1987 to serve the Muslims of Riverside and adjacent cities. Although the Islamic Academy of Riverside was developed out of the Islamic Center of Riverside and remains under their guardianship, it has its own autonomy. Both the ICR and the IAR complex are centered in the Inland Empire area of Southern California and serve the needs of more than 6,000 Muslims.
Through the blessings of Allah (SWT) and support from our community, has allowed IAR to begin the 1995-1996 school-year in a newly constructed facility. The school building is comprised of approximately 6,000 square feet of classroom space, along with administrative offices, kitchen and cafeteria, and a multipurpose room. It has the capacity to accommodate up to 200 students.
The Islamic Academy of Riverside, which began with only 6 students in 1987, now maintains a student body of over 130 students with grade levels ranging from preschool through eighth grade. The school offers programs in both core academics and Islamic education. A basic enriched curriculum is provided, which fosters a love of learning and enables the students to expand their horizons. The curriculum meets or exceeds the requirements set forth by the state of California. All major areas of study are presented in a sequential, progressive manner beginning in preschool and proceeding through all grade levels.
Grades: Pre-K – 8
