Character building, an integral component of Austin Peace Academy's vision, is perfected proactively through planned actions and activities inside and outside the classroom. This in turn leads our students to perform routine acts of compassion and kindness. The emphasis on the development of the individual child and their integration within our school community as an interdependent member rounds up APA's initiative to promote educational excellence and meaningful faith in a diverse, caring environment.

Austin Peace Academy is a nationally accredited, full-time Islamic school located in Austin, Texas, providing high quality education to each student in an Islamic environment. APA aims to prepare its students for a life of academic success, personal fulfillment, and service and leadership to the community.
The Muslim community in Austin founded Austin Peace Academy (formerly Peace Elementary School) to meet the crucial challenge of stimulating the minds of the students who enroll in the school while at the same time enabling them to preserve their Islamic identity, heritage and practices. Austin Peace Academy was established in 1997 in a small building with about sixteen students as the first Islamic school in Austin.
Many companies allow their employees to direct their charitable giving programs through matching gifts. When an employee notifies the company that he/she has made a charitable donation, the company will make a gift of the same amount, and in some cases double the amount, to the same charitable organization.
On Fridays, the bus will arrive at the stops 35 MINUTES LATER THAN the regular drop off times. APA is offering a highly competitive rate for the students; it is indeed subsidizing the bus/van service, particularly taking into account the deep discount offered to siblings.
This fee is very reasonable, in considering the cost of gasoline, vehicle depreciation, and time spent driving to school, etc. Please note that payment for the bus/van must be made in advance and is non-refundable.Payment must be made at the school office as per the schedule for monthly tuition fees.

I am writing this review on behalf of myself and Taha, and we did enjoy not our experience at APA. We believe that APA does not prepare people for college at all. We believe there is no islamic values being shared at all at APA. We believe that APA is full of corrupt favoritism and only enables students whose parents donate like Youness. I personally did not like my experience at APA for one of many reasons including that many of the teachers were unqualified, some of them I believe are illegally staying here in the US. We believe we need therapy for our time here at APA.

Austin Peace Academy is the best school for a parent looking to push kids to the next level of education. The school preaches the best qualities a person could have to its students and the results are very noticeable. I’ve seen this school win tournaments in all levels ranging from elementary to high school. As an alumni, I take pride in APA and try to come back and give back as much as I can.

Austin Peace Academy creates an environment for students to strive to become successful Muslim Americans. The strong Arabic and Islamic curriculum teaches students to balance their deen and their daily lives. The students treat everyone like they are family, which creates a community that instills good moral character. Additionally, APA has outstanding academic standards. Coming from a public school, I was never challeneged to achieve my full potential. At APA, I was taught to work diligently. This is something that will be essential when I start college next year inshallah. APA offers AP classes

I first came to APA in kindergarten, and I can personally attest to the fact the school has drastically improved over the years. Classes are growing more and more rigorous while still maintaining the personal feel that comes with small class sizes and interactive teachers. The teachers always encourage students, offering help at every junction. In addition, the overall environment cultivates a competitive learning experience that motivates students to do their best, from UIL debate to MIST to just classes in general.

I have gone to APA for the past 10 school years Alhamdulillah, and I am more than proud to say that it has been, without a doubt, the best second home I could ever ask for. You are always felt warm and welcomed in APA due to the friendly, kind behavior of the students that attend. The academics taught advanced like none other, ranking APA to be a #2 out of all private schools in Austin, Texas. I highly recommend coming to Austin Peace Academy as it a great way for your kid(s) to start implementing Islam in their everyday life.

Here at Austin Peace Academy (APA) students are taught how to excel academically, and how to speak and debate with confidence whilst still upholding their morals and ideals. For a growing private school, APA offers an array of courses including APs, Honors, sports, computer science, art, speech and debate, and many more that students can take, which may not all be offered at other small private schools. Furthermore, because APA classes typically do not exceed 30 students, it made it possible for teachers to really understand their students and increased one-on-one learning opportunities. Small

I'm literally only writing this review since this school deserves more credibility than RA. People who leave to go to RA from APA should honestly stay is APA since the school you're going to is kinda worse. I've heard of incidents where kids were FORCED to write good reviews in replacement of their honest opinion to not get in trouble. This basically is telling kids to repress their honest opinion and make a better one to please and appeal to people so they can take in more kids in the sense of it being a decent school , but it isn't, being there for some time, you realize how degraded it begins

As a senior who has been attending APA since kindergarten, I can definitely say that this is an ideal school for your kids. Over the years, I have watched this school grow and found it so interesting to see so many people from a variety of backgrounds bond together so well; it’s like a family. This school is a very safe environment, with no/minimal violence and bullying. For a small school, the given classes are pretty decent and the curriculum isn’t too difficult as long as you put in the effort. All of the teachers are really nice and easy to talk to; you can go to them for anything. They

I've been with APA for almost 9 years now. The faculty and staff make it their priority to ensure that every student succeeds and graduates with good Islamic understanding as well as great academic preparation. With this level of commitment, the school is no longer a school, it becomes a second home.
