IANT Quranic Academy

What IANT Quranic Academy does

IANT Quranic Academy (IQA) is a private, non-profit K-12 Islamic school located in Richardson, Texas, operating under the parent organization IANT (Islamic Association of North Texas). Founded in 2002 by Dr. Yusuf Ziya Kavakci (former Imam of IANT) and Br. Muhammad Al-Amin, the school serves Muslim families seeking integrated faith-based and college-preparatory education for students from Pre-K through 12th grade. Over 22+ years of operation, IQA has produced 212 alumni and 155 huffadh (students who have memorized the entire Quran), while continuously maintaining Cognia accreditation since 2007.

IQA's core academic portfolio comprises three integrated tracks: the ECE-8 Program (Texas TEKS-aligned core academics), the High School Program with dual credit pathways through Dallas College, and the Religious Studies programs (Hifdh full-time Quran memorization, Qira'ah recitation, Arabic Language Immersion, Alim Preparatory Program, and Islamic Studies). Technology infrastructure relies on commodity third-party tools — Google Classroom for learning management, Sycamore for student information and enrollment, Chromebooks as student devices, and PayJunction for payment processing — rather than any proprietary platform. Faculty is stated at approximately 50+ across Pre-K, Elementary, Secondary, Hifdh, Arabic, and Islamic Studies departments.

The school's revenue model is tuition-driven with supplementary fees and donations. Annual tuition ranges from $6,489 (11th-12th grade) to $7,570.50 (PreK-10th grade), billed in 10 monthly installments (August-May), with multi-child discounts of 10-15%. Additional revenue streams include a $150 non-refundable application fee, an $800 one-time family registration fee, annual resource/material fees of $300-$600, a $150 re-enrollment fee, a $400 graduation fee, and tax-deductible donations supporting operations and an annual fundraising gala. Enrollment is conducted directly through the Sycamore portal with online applications, skills assessments, optional interviews, and committee review. Distribution is single-campus, domestic, and reliant on word-of-mouth within the local DFW Muslim community and parent-to-parent referrals.
