Opened in 1997, Austin Peace Academy is one of two nationally accredited full time Islamic schools in the greater Austin Muslim community. Our mission is to prepare our students for success in this life and the Hereafter by providing them with exemplary education based on Islamic morals, values, and the highest academic standards. Our students have excelled academically as evidenced by their consistently high scores on state-wide and national assessment tests. Our students also compete in state and national math and science competitions and have won many awards. Our students acquire strong Islamic beliefs and practices, demonstrating model behavior and character. Graduates will have the academic grounding, confidence, and the skills to meet life’s challenges and relate to others with respect, tolerance, and understanding. They will be knowledgeable enough to be critical and creative thinkers. APA graduates will be ambitious and influential enough to become productive citizens and leaders within their communities, demonstrating their Muslim-American identity.
