Islamic Schools League Of America

What Islamic Schools League Of America does

Islamic Schools League of America (ISLA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit membership organization headquartered in Round Rock, Texas, that supports full-time Islamic K-12 schools across North America. The organization was founded by four parents and is verified with the Candid Platinum Seal of Transparency under EIN 54-1926543. ISLA operates with 1-10 employees and serves a network of approximately 2,500 educators receiving weekly Friday job posting digests, alongside member schools, Muslim families seeking school information, and corporate partners in the Islamic education ecosystem.

The product portfolio centers on a web-based platform comprising an Islamic School Directory, a Job Portal with unlimited free postings for member schools, the Educators' Listserv (IECN), and a Membership Program with school, individual, and corporate tiers. Beyond the core platform, ISLA produces specialized toolkits (Crisis Toolkit, Sexual Abuse Prevention Toolkit, Teaching Palestine Toolkit, Reading List) and school management resources covering governance, finance, accreditation, and forms. Original research is delivered through the ISLA Database Project, including reports on staffing trends, principal profiles, and crisis readiness. Annual programming includes Professional Development Week, the Research Symposium, and the Leadership Retreat.

ISLA's revenue is diversified across recurring membership fees (school, individual, corporate), non-member job posting fees, event registrations, and tax-deductible donations. The go-to-market is community-led: weekly email outreach to educators, organic social presence across Facebook, X/Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube, blog content, and annual events. Strategic partnerships with CISNA (accreditation), CISE (consulting), Zaytuna College, Yaqeen Institute, and other corporate members extend service delivery into accreditation, consulting, higher education, and research.
