History
The seeds for ILM Academy were laid in 2006 via an initiative undertaken by a handful of mothers in the North Alpharetta community. Through the dedicated efforts and countless hours spent by those parents, a homeschooling program was started by offering Pre-K I and Pre-K II to 3 and 4 year old children with the support of Hamzah Islamic Center under the name of Hadeeqat Al Atfaal. The focus from day one was to offer an educational experience far exceeding the public school standard coupled with a high level of Islamic education.
Facing unexpected success since its inception, a strategic decision to expand the program to Kindergarten during the 2007-2008 school year was made. With academic excellence as the cornerstone of our school's mission, most of the Kindergarten students fared exceptionally well on ITBS, a nationally administered examination. In fact, most of the students placed in the top 4% in the nation with scores falling between 95 - 99 percentiles.
In May 2008, the parent body and school administration after discussions with HIC's board, decided to establish ILM Academy as an independently governed non-profit corporation, with its own by-laws, building, etc. As a result, ILM Academy was officially incorporated on June 16th, 2008. The rest is history as you know it.
