King Abdullah Academy - Herndon, Virginia

Actually I haven’t been to school like King Abdullah Academy.
Great building, great staff and great principles.
They take care of every single student all the way up to think your child is the only one at school. Easy drop off and easy to pick up and smooth.
My children studied for four years they were so happy during those years

An amazing school. The staff are very cooperative and school facilities are very good. My kids are happy and I am very grateful I decided to move here. They teach Arabic, English, Islamic Studies, Math, Science and Social Studies daily. The school has Three levels: Elementary, Middle and High. My kids in the Elementary so I don't know about the other levels yet.

I am a parent of three children. Wanted to have an Islamic environment and good education for my kids, King Abdullah has delivered both and more. The staff is very courteous and helpful specially the admission office. Ms Soudad is great person and immensely helpful as this was my first time with the private school admission environment but she made it very easy and extended great help throughout the process. The children have already attended two weeks and are extremely happy and made good friends, Lunch is halal and my kids love that unlike public school.
The Parent portal is state of the art and help us to stay connected with the kids performance and ability to communicate with the teachers.
Overall the experience is great and will strongly recommend parents to believe in this school and don't pay any attention to the online reviews they don't mean anything. Lets make our Schools more stronger and better by participating in their success. May Allah reward all who are working diligently to educate our kids with both Islamic and formal education.

Needs work, the kids get into trouble for fighting back and other stupid reasons, and are very sexist. For all of my Muslim brothers, I will recommend teaching your kid Islamic and Arabic from home and giving them a public school. This is just my honest opinion and I am sorry to say I am very disappointed in this school.

Most of the reviews are old or are written by petty expelled students. Administration should expel more people in my opinion. But this school has gotten a lot better recently and should keep it up. However, they should invest in better teachers for high school and sports.
OH and if your kid has lost their Islamic values don’t expect this school to work magic on them!

Coming from a non saudi, the Saudis are way better than the kids coming from Public school who are constantly insulting them and Islam. I wish they would stop allowing kids from public schools in past middle school.

To be honest, I wrote like 3 of the really long reviews here. I really wish I could delete them. KAA is not so bad anymore. It’s getting a lot better every year. Although the administration is holding us back in terms of improvement, the school has gone under a lot of change that most people don’t see. I am expecting great things for this school in the future.

I would like to express my happiness with this school. I have one child in 2nd grade and admitting the second child in KG this year.
My first child has been attending this school since it first opened and it has been a very smooth transition given the fact that Arabic is considered her second language.
Special thank you to the Principal Ms. Salwa Linjawi and the elementary school principal Ms. Sumaya Jaghlit for hiring excellent teachers who are well experienced socially and academically. They have made my child feel KAA is her second family. My child has grown to love KAA and has already learned a great deal about her culture, religion and overall learning.
Given the fact that my child was born and raised here, I was hesitant of placing her in an English/Arabic school. However, through these past three years, she is now fluent in Arabic and learned most of Juz' Amma of our Holy Qur'an. Ms. Salwa Awwad who is the head of the Arabic department has made the Arabic curriculum easy enough for young students to capture the true essence of why we send our children to learn their native language. Of course this can't be done without the Arabic teacher's help, and guidance. I would like to specially acknowledge Ms. Rana Jabi. Ms. Jabi teaches with love. Since distance learning took place this year, Ms. Jabi has engaged her students in a way that keeps their attention and focus during class time. Her follow ups ensures me that she sincerely cares and I as a mother take that into consideration and respect.
I am investing in teaching my children in a clean and safe environment that I strongly believe is the right decision I have made.
