About - Al-Razi School

Al-Razi School is a non-public, not-for-profit, tax-exempt full-time Islamic educational organization located in Burlington, North Carolina. Al-Razi School currently offers Pre-K through 2nd grade classes, as well as daycare services. Our inaugural class is expected in August 2026, In Sha Allah. We are affiliated with The Burlington Masjid and a member of The Islamic Schools League of America (ISLA).

Our school is named after the eminent Abū Bakr Muḥammad ibn Zakariyyāʾ al-Rāzī, who distinguished himself in many fields including mathematics, medicine, alchemy, and philosophy during the 10th century. Al-Razi was one of the most accomplished scholars of the Islamic Golden Age, and his legacy of intellectual curiosity, scholarly rigor, and service to humanity is the spirit we carry forward in our school. Our motto, "Pursuing Excellence," reflects this commitment in everything we do.

To establish a culturally diverse and integrated school of excellence that prepares succeeding generations of Muslims who are critical, independent, lifelong thinkers and learners. Our students will have a profound understanding and love for Islam. They will ultimately choose Islam as their way of life and thus strive to be their Creator's representatives and stewards in their interactions with the world in which they live.

In partnership with our culturally diverse community, Al-Razi School is committed to providing academic excellence in a stimulating, safe, and nurturing Islamic learning environment. Our innovative curriculum is designed to align not only with the developmental growth of our students, but also aims to integrate Islamic principles with academic subjects. These approaches are integral to our goal of fostering a holistic approach to education with a problem-solving mindset across disciplines. Our students learn under the supervision and guidance of a well-trained, caring, professional, and dedicated team of educators.
