About Islamic School of Irving

Alhamdulillah, The Islamic School of Irving (ISI) was officially opened on October 21st, 1996 with the Kindergarten Program. Alhamdulillah, 6 children successfully graduated in July 1997. During the 1997-1998 school year two additional grades (1st and 2nd) were added. During the 1997-1998 school year, ISI graduated 19 students from the different elementary classes. During the 1998-1999 school year, ISI added 3rd grade and school enrollment reached 38. Presently, the enrollment of the school increased to 90 students up to the 6th grade. This accomplishment followed years of investigation and planning by the Islamic Center Of Irving, who sought to establish a high quality of education for Muslim children from Irving and surrounding cities of DFT.

As the school has been moved to the new and bigger facility, ISI has added classes up to the 8th grade. The 2005-2005 school has already began in Aug-Sept 2005
