Hamza has the best principal. She is conducting free ELA and MAT After School Program. The children are progressing so much academically!
I have been sending my kids to Hamza for many years. It's a great school. It's sad to see all this negativity. If people are interested in this Islamic school they should come and meet with the principal, and not believe the rantings of one person.
This is the best school because of the leadership of this principal. Keep up the great work
I just wanted to clarify one thing to a parent who was concerned about bus fees and hot lunches. Hot lunches were a fundraiser - the food was donated and sold to help out with classroom supplies and class trips. As for the bus fees, parents were charged reduced bus fees because the PTA subsized the cost of the buses for trips.
My kids are happy campers at this school! Love the atmosphere and the teachers. Will always to happy to give good reviews. Needs more space and inshallah it will happen soon.
I thinks its a great school for parents who want their child to have an islamic background. My childs teacher is so caring and loving to my child and she gets individual help were needed. Kudos for Hamza!
Wonderful staff and principal. Students are taught at their own levels with a differentiated curriculum which includes plenty of hands on learning!
I want to review this school because I see many inconsistancies with the administration. I found it despicable that the parents were being charged for bus fees while the bus fees were already paid by the fundraising earnings of the pta. They also charged parents for hot lunches while the lunches were donated from restaurants and other parents. In Islam we are taught to respect one another and always be truthful. This administration hides many things and this is why I am pulling out my child. Even though the administration pathetic, the teachers are very' dedicated to their students and we can't deny this.
Hamza Academy is a very good Islamic school, the administration, teachers and the principle are well educated and know how to run the school. The principle is too nice if you ask me, because if you walk into anyother school as a parent you will not get the kind of attention and respect the principle gives here. The principle of this school makes sure that everything that is being taught in the school or anything that is being done in the school is according to islam. I have sent my kids to other schools but the islamic foundation is just not like Hamza Academy. Hamza Academy might be a small school but the product from here knows what islam is and how we should follow it. So if you are looking to give your kids a real islamic foundation Hamza Academy is the place.
