Broad incumbents

• Horace Mann School: Established NYC independent K–12 school with strong college placement outcomes (comparable to Razi's 100% college acceptance claim) — relevant for benchmarking the competitive private-school landscape Razi operates in, though secular and far larger.
• Avenues: The World School: Large, well-capitalized NYC private K–12 school with STEM emphasis, AP curriculum, and multilingual programming — overlaps with Razi in college-prep delivery and STEM focus, but serves a secular, premium tuition market rather than a faith-based segment.

Regional players

• Bayan Claremont: Private Islamic K–12 school in California with a college-preparatory curriculum, AP courses, and integrated Islamic studies — analogous full-spectrum Islamic private school model, although serving a different region.
