  History of the Academy

• The Islamic Academy of Daytona Beach (Sunday school) was established in the early 1980’s to serve the need of the Muslim community in the Daytona Beach area. In the late 90’s the area experienced a rapid and positive growth of our community. In addition the demographics of mostly international student temporary residents have been replaced with local working professionals that made the area their permanent residence.

• The growth of the community has been met by continuous and endless effort of few individuals that carried the responsibility of keeping the Sunday school program active. The name was officially changed to the Islamic Academy of Daytona Beach with a hope that we will be able to establish a state certified and accredited educational institution in the near future.
  
  At the Islamic Academy of Daytona Beach we aim to plant the seed of Islam, prepare the student to continue cultivating and nurturing it, and make the teaching of the Quran (Muslim Holly Book) and the Sunnah (Tradition and teaching of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH) the guiding light for a life long journey.
  
  Child experience at the academy is educational, behavioral, social, and spiritual. In addition to the educational classes offered in the academy, physical, and social interaction between Muslim children enforce the normalcy of being a Muslim. The academy plays an important guiding role in presenting, discussing, and finding solutions to a growing young adults concerns and problems they face in daily life outside the Islamic center and in every day situations. The academy will help students not to feel alienated when properly attired (boys and girls), praying, or adhering to the teaching of Islam.
