We’re a brand-new 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.
Our discipline approach is rooted in Akhlaq — character formation modeled after the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Public shame and physical discipline aren’t used. Daily Dhuhr prayer happens in the classroom (with wudu time built into the schedule), and Quran, Arabic, and Islamic Studies are taught by specialists so lead teachers can focus on the academic core.
Ability to teach Arabic, Islamic Studies, or Quran is a plus — not a requirement. Lead teachers are not required to be practicing Muslims, though all faculty are expected to respect and support the school’s Islamic mission.
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.
