Testimonials

"Bismillah,

Sunnah Academy has been a cornerstone in our daughter's life for nearly seven years, starting from pre-K.

Her well-being, academic growth, and spiritual development have flourished in this nurturing environment.

She's above her grade level in multiple subjects, she has memorized more Quran than her parents know combined, she memorized the 99 names of Allah in 3rd grade, she memorized many daily duas and hadith, and the list goes on Alhamdulillah.

The unwavering support and encouragement from the teachers and staff have been pivotal in her journey.

The sense of belonging and kinship at Sunnah Academy is truly heartwarming. Our daughter feels at home, surrounded by teachers, friends, and mentors who genuinely care about her growth. She absolutely adores her teachers, whose guidance and warmth have made learning a joyous experience.

The friendships she has formed and the exciting field trips she participates in have enriched her school experience immensely.

As parents, we feel completely at ease sending our daughter to Sunnah Academy. We can't thank Allah enough for Sunnah Academy, its teachers, and its administrators.

The environment is safe, nurturing, and aligned with our values, allowing us to send our daughter to school without any hesitation.

We are grateful for the positive impact Sunnah Academy has had on our daughter's life and look forward to her continued growth in this wonderful community.

We cannot wait for our son to join the school within a year or so inshaAllah!

May Allah swt accept and continue to bless Sunnah Academy!"

Testimonials

"SubhanAllah, countless positive experiences come to mind when vouching for Sunnah Academy.

To begin, Sunnah Academy is the first Islamic school in the immediate area. The location is convenient for the greater Woodbridge/Manassas and Stafford Muslim community.

We have been very satisfied with the overarching curriculum that includes general academics, Quran, fiqh, aqeedah, and Arabic.

Field trips and quarterly parties are held every school year. Our children love the parties because they are fun, and we, as parents, are pleased with the coordination of these parties, as they are held with all halal food and educational games in a clean environment.

Sunnah Academy staff are dedicated, well-versed, and engaged with students throughout the year. They communicate and work with parents to resolve issues/challenges that students may encounter.

Parents are always in the loop regarding a student's overall progress and persona by the teachers.

Sunnah Academy truly upholds its name by facilitating the "Sunnah" environment to the students: students are not only taught Islamic manners in the text but also put into practice in school.

One of the most cherishable moments for us is when our children share stories of the Quran teacher telling them the meaning of random Quran verses or Sunnah of RasulAllah (Peace Be Upon Him) at school.

It truly takes a village to raise a child. Sunnah Academy has been a blessed village for us to be part of in raising our children with a Muslim identity."

Testimonials

"Alhamdulillah, Sunnah Academy has been an absolute blessing for our family.

Our two older sons thrived during their time there, with one attending from Pre-K to first grade and the other in Pre-K. Even though a business hardship necessitated a move to public school, the foundation Sunnah Academy provided has been invaluable.

Our eldest son entered public school reading and comprehending significantly above grade level and was subsequently admitted to the gifted program. Our second son is also excelling.

Now, our youngest daughter is in Pre-K at Sunnah Academy, and we couldn't be more delighted with her progress. Her understanding and articulation of Islamic concepts, including those related to Allah SWT and Prophet Muhammad SAW, are truly remarkable.

Sunnah Academy has instilled a strong Islamic foundation in each of our children. They all genuinely love going to school. We deeply regret having to leave due to circumstances and wish we could have continued their education at Sunnah Academy through its higher grades.

We are profoundly grateful to the entire Sunnah Academy administration and staff for their dedication and care. Jzakum-Allah-khir!"

Testimonials

"Bismillah!

Dear Sunnah Academy,

There is so much to write and such little whitespace...

We hope the testimonial below shares a glimpse of how truly blessed we are to have this shining light in the community. May Allah continue to give you the health and means to be the foundation within the community that we all so very much need. Ameen.

Before we even had our first child, the family would regularly discuss what school we would send them to. Having no option in the Woodbridge/Manassas area, we would discuss what the commute would be like going somewhere further north. Then, in 2018, a beacon of light emerged in the Woodbridge community in the form of Sunnah Academy, Alhamdulillah.

At home, having just welcomed our first child, we rejoiced. Once our child was able to start pre-k, we scheduled a visitation and met with the admins and staff of Sunnah Academy. From the moment we entered the school, we immediately knew from the environment this was where we wanted our child and their younger sibling (in a year) to attend.

Alhumdulillah, our children have been attending Sunnah Academy for the last 3 years, and we have seen their tremendous growth not only in their academics but also in their Quran and Islamic education.

But what really brings tears to our eyes and joy to our hearts is the type of human beings our children are becoming, primarily due to the environment, values, and genuine care they receive at school.

They have both built strong bonds and affection for the faculty and admins alike, Alhamdulillah!

We couldn't be happier sending our kids to Sunnah Academy and look forward to the school expanding to higher grades in the future, InshAllah."

Testimonials

"Bismillah!

Being a believer, we must learn, implement, and teach this glorious Deen.

When the English vocabulary falls short in expressing immense gratitude, first and foremost, to Allah (swt), then Sunnah Academy, with its dedicated team, we must resort to what is available.

The fact that we did not intend to join this enriching school upon our first visit, yet walked out with peace of mind and a tranquil heart, says volumes!

We have enrolled our son and daughter here since summer camp in 2024.

Our son no longer wished to return to Mary Porter Traditional, where our daughter was enrolled for first grade. He was ecstatic to return to Sunnah Academy after his experience there during Summer camp. Indeed, the sincere and constant implementation of the Quran/Sunnah in every aspect of learning can ONLY be Khair.

It is an honor to write this testimonial as signing up for Sunnah Academy was one of the best decisions for our children's lives for this world and the next. The rigorous academics, nurturing culture, attention to detail, emotional support, physical activities, and nutritional advice for the social well-being of every individual, student, and teacher, in light of the Quran and Sunnah, make this school praiseworthy, MashaAllah - TabarakAllah!

With the fleeting nature of this world, we all must stay steadfast and put forth more effort to stay afloat.

May the admin and teachers be rewarded in abundance during this life and the next. May Allah (swt) make these children torchbearers of the Deen. Ameen."

Testimonials

"Bismillah,

Our experience with Sunnah Academy has been incredibly enriching for our daughter.

Emotionally, she's blossomed in an environment that nurtures kindness, empathy, and self-confidence.

Academically, we've seen significant growth with a curriculum that challenges our daughter and supports her at her own pace.

The teachers and staff have been outstanding—always approachable, encouraging, and deeply invested in our child's success. They foster a sense of belonging, making our child feel part of a warm and close-knit community.

Our daughter loves the interactive, hands-on learning experiences and the sense of unity among her peers. She feels valued not only as a student but also as an individual.

As a parent, I appreciate the school's commitment to open communication and a strong sense of community.

Sunnah Academy has truly created a space where children can grow and learn, Alhamdulillah!"

Testimonials

"Alhamdulillah, we were among the first parents to take advantage of the first Islamic school in our community since 2018.

We are incredibly grateful to Allah (swt) for this blessing. Sunnah Academy provides us with peace of mind as we entrust our children to it, knowing that they receive both authentic Islamic education and values and a competitive academic curriculum within a safe and tolerant environment, Alhamdulillah!

Our son has been attending Sunnah Academy since Pre-K and is now, MashaAllah, in 5th grade. During his time there, he learned how to recite the Quran with the rules of Tajweed, studied Seerah, developed exemplary Akhlaq (etiquette), and memorized many Surahs (chapters) as well as daily Duas.

At such a young age, he understands the importance of Salah and fasting and remains punctual with his religious obligations, Masha Allah!

At the start of the school, the administration was kind enough to accommodate my daughters for middle school. During that time, my daughters learned essential Islamic values, and they became keener to learn and practice the deen by choice than we could have imagined.

It is hard to state the feelings when my young children wake us up for Tahajjud and Fajr and remind us of volunteering fasting on Mondays and Thursdays.

We pray that Sunnah Academy continues to grow and provide excellent Islamic education.

May Allah (swt) reward the founders and the rest of the faculty members of Sunnah Academy with the best of both worlds.

Aameen!"

-Happy Parents, Alhamdulillah! :)
