Noor Academy

What Noor Academy does

Noor Academy is a private K-12 Islamic academy that integrates a secular college-preparatory curriculum (aligned with Virginia State Standards) with Islamic studies instruction developed by Al Azhar University graduates. Founded in 2020 under the Lighthouse Academia Group umbrella, it serves Muslim families seeking a faith-integrated education alternative to both conventional public schools and standalone madrasas. The academy is dual-format: a physical campus in Charlotte Court House, Virginia (opened 2025) and a Virtual Academy delivering live online instruction nationwide for grades 4-12, supplemented by a Weekend Islamic Studies program and a Virtual Tutoring Services line.

The underlying technology is minimal and conventional — Zoom powers synchronous virtual classrooms, and FACTS handles tuition billing and administration. There is no proprietary learning platform or AI-driven instruction; the educational product is fundamentally teacher-led, with credentialed secular instructors and Al Azhar-trained Islamic studies faculty delivering live lessons. The Fusion Forward Virtual Academy operates as a sub-brand within the broader Noor Academy identity, targeting the same nationwide online scholar base.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through recurring monthly tuition at $175-$450 per scholar, with the higher tiers covering full-time full-program enrollment. The Lighthouse Scholarship Foundation partnership provides a financial-aid channel for families who cannot afford full tuition, while Iqou College offers a post-secondary articulation pathway. Earned Cognia Accreditation with Merit (February 2026) functions as the school's primary external credibility signal, validating its academic quality against U.S. accreditation standards.
