College Placement Achievements
During my time at ISSD, I had the blessing Alhamdullilah of learning from the best teachers. We had small classes where we were given the opportunity to try new things. Innovation came in joining the Inventors Showcase and the annual science fair, 8th grade camping which was a blast with Ms. Hanan , math marathons and morning stories will always have a special place in my heart. I was able to learn advanced math and science, but also build a solid Islamic foundation and Arabic skills from a young age. I appreciate all of the hard work and patience, in hindsight. As someone who grew up to be a teacher and now vice principal I look back and appreciate ten fold the hard work and dedication they all put in, because Subhanallah it’s a huge responsibility. Alhamdullilah for the positive impact and wonderful memories I will forever have of my time at the Islamic School of San Diego. Jazakallahu khairan again
Nimo Hadji, Alumni"I am blessed to have my children attend BHA. The most attractive feature of BHA is the emphasis on having a balance between the temporal and spiritual. BHA teachers and staff have done an amazing job in pulling all resources to give education of highest quality to the kids. I saw first-hand how supported, safe and comfortable BHA students feel. There is a culture of mutual respect and the relationship driven education that I've only read about in books. To witness these core values and relationships in action at BHA is heartwarming."
Dr. Sajid Hussain, parent"Bright Horizon Academy has been a keystone institution of the Muslim presence within San Diego and the larger American community. One which has produced generations of productive Muslim members and leaders of society and one which I hope Allah (glorified and exalted is He) will allow to bloom for as long as this world remains and allow it to bear many fruits for the Ummah as a whole in the next."
