Islamic School of Irving

ISI opened on October 21, 1996. The first program to be offered was Kindergarten, where six children were enrolled and graduated in July 1997. Two additional grades, first and second, were added during the 1997–1998 school year. In 1997–1998, ISI had nineteen students graduate from different elementary classes. Over the years, the school has elevated its grade programs and now serves pre-kindergarten all the way to twelfth grade. Currently, the school's enrollment has increased to more than 650 students. Years of planning by the Islamic Center of Irving^[6] and support from the local DFW community have contributed to establishing a high-quality resource of education for Muslim children from Irving and surrounding cities in DFW.
