Curriculum
Michigan Islamic Institute continuously strives to provide the highest standards for educational excellence provided by its programs and teachers. The academic department is held responsible for a recognized and standard secular education curriculum. In the academic department, students follow the requirements of four years of the core subjects of Math, Science, Social Studies, and English Language Arts. The priority of the curriculum is to meet the standards of the common core curriculum, without compromising on the creative and interactive learning needs of the students.

Our small class setting makes it ideal for students to get individual attention and instructions for each lesson, even in advanced subjects and classes. Our grading software, Gradelink, provides information on each student's progress, allowing teachers to work on the specific needs and struggles of each student. Additionally, students are offered optional Honors courses in science.
