Al-Hamra Academy is the first full-time accredited Islamic school in New England. Our goal is to raise children with strong intellectual and moral background. We strive to provide an environment that encourages the cognitive, spiritual, moral, emotional and physical growth of every student.

We have a well-defined, effective and evolving curriculum that follows the Massachusetts State Frameworks. We foster spiritual and moral growth in a progressive Islamic environment - an environment that instills in our students the universal values of love, compassion, peace, tolerance, equality, and justice.

Al-Hamra Academy students have done it again, Alhamdulillah!

This year, the middle school students entered the 2012 Letters about Literature Writing Contest. Massachusetts ranked fourth in the nation this year in the number of
letters submitted. In level I (grades 4-6), over 1500 letters were submitted in the state. Those letters went through several elimination rounds. Of the letters we
submitted, two were advanced to Round 2 and both of them were advanced to the state semi-finalists round.

We are happy to announce that Yusra Syed, grade 6, is a Massachusetts semi-finalist for her letter to Sharon Draper about the novel Out of My Mind.

We are also pleased to announce that Muhammad Salah, also grade 6, is an Honors award winner this year for his letter to Lemony Snicket regarding The Series of Unfortunate Events. Muhammad and his family and teacher will be invited to the State House for the awards ceremony on Friday May 18th.

We are very proud of both students’ accomplishments. Congratulations to them and their families.
