Report
I am writing this review on behalf of myself and Taha, and we did enjoy not our experience at APA. We believe that APA does not prepare people for college at all. We believe there is no islamic values being shared at all at APA. We believe that APA is full of corrupt favoritism and only enables students whose parents donate like Youness. I personally did not like my experience at APA for one of many reasons including that many of the teachers were unqualified, some of them I believe are illegally staying here in the US. We believe we need therapy for our time here at APA.

Austin Peace Academy is the best school for a parent looking to push kids to the next level of education. The school preaches the best qualities a person could have to its students and the results are very noticeable. Ive seen this school win tournaments in all levels ranging from elementary to high school. As an alumni, I take pride in APA and try to come back and give back as much as I can.

Austin Peace Academy creates an environment for students to strive to become successful Muslim Americans. The strong Arabic and Islamic curriculum teaches students to balance their deen and their daily lives. The students treat everyone like they are family, which creates a community that instills good moral character. Additionally, APA has outstanding academic standards. Coming from a public school, I was never challeneged to achieve my full potential. At APA, I was taught to work diligently. This is something that will be essential when I start college next year inshallah. APA offers AP classes

I first came to APA in kindergarten, and I can personally attest to the fact the school has drastically improved over the years. Classes are growing more and more rigorous while still maintaining the personal feel that comes with small class sizes and interactive teachers. The teachers always encourage students, offering help at every junction. In addition, the overall environment cultivates a competitive learning experience that motivates students to do their best, from UIL debate to MIST to just classes in general.
