We are a full-time Islamic school in Burlington, NC, opening with PreK through 2nd Grade in August 2026, In Sha Allah. Founding faculty have outsized influence on what gets set in stone — classroom routines, the school’s discipline culture, the rhythm of the day.
Al-Razi is an Islamic school — not a school that Muslims happen to attend. Faith is woven through every part of the day: daily prayer in the classroom, Islamic etiquette in everyday routines (eating, greeting, bathroom, cleanliness), and the discipline of leaving every space in a better state than it was found. Our approach to discipline is rooted in akhlaq — character formation modeled after the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him). Public shame and physical discipline are not used.
Quran, Arabic, and Islamic Studies are taught daily as core curriculum by a faith-aligned specialist, freeing lead teachers to focus on the academic core while reinforcing Islamic values in everyday classroom interactions. The school day runs 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM.
Lead teachers are not required to be practicing Muslims. However, all faculty are expected to respect the school’s Islamic mission, support daily prayer and Islamic etiquette in the classroom, and adhere to the dress and conduct standards in the Staff Handbook.
Al-Razi School welcomes applicants and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender, age, or disability. As a religious-affiliated school, we may require alignment with Islamic values for roles where such alignment is bona fide to the position’s responsibilities.
