Introduction:

Annoor Islamic School was established in the spring of 1989. Muslims of Wichita, with the active participation of the community, responded to the imperative need for safeguarding our children by opening a full-time Islamic school.The seed for the full-time Annoor Islamic School began to germinate in 1996, when twelve dedicated families answered the call to begin a new era in Wichita's history. That day Annoor Islamic School (AIS) started as a one-classroom school covering preschool and consisting of 12 students. Alhamdulillah, AIS is now an accredited school equipped with certified teachers and preschool through 8th grade! Insha' Allah, we will continue to grow. The size of the student body has been increasing each year.

AIS is nesteled in a middle-class neighborhood overlooked from highway K-96. The neighborhood of the school is filled with many Muslim families. The masjid is attcahed to the school thereby enabling students to pray dhur and salatul Juma'a(Friday prayer). The facility is large, and expansion is on its way to add a high school.

Mission Statement:

Provide exemplary education by integrating Islamic values and higher academic standards and by encouraging partnership between school, parents, and community members. AIS will prepare students to be constructive participants and role models in the American society.

Vision:

Develop AIS with highly qualified teachers and a curriculum that meets the religious and academic needs of the students, so that they become the future role models and leaders for humanity.

Philosophy:

Annoor's staff embraces the philosophy that every student is unique, capable, and worthy of the best education possible.
