Belonging
A child should be certain of where they belong before they are asked to defend it.
Every student here is known by name, by teachers and classmates who share what they believe.
Infant through Grade 8 · Full Hifz program
Excelling in academics. Nurturing spiritual growth.
Established in 2000 by members of the Muslim community in Little Rock — from different backgrounds, with one view in common: a school that could do both.

Life at the academy
The Huda Experience
Qur'an and geometry, the prayer hall and the gym, Bayyinah in the morning and the science lab after. Every child here is known by name — and this is what an ordinary week actually looks like.
About us
Who we are.
The Huda Academy was established in 2000 to promote education and create an environment based on the Islamic principles of character, courage and compassion — the only accredited Islamic school in Arkansas, and a school whose founders set out to produce valuable members of society who maintain their Islamic identity.
Our mission
Our primary mission is to give students a strong sense of belonging to the Muslim community, to provide excellent well-rounded education in a healthy Islamic environment, and to provide students with a solid grounding in Islam and Arabic, which will enable them to live God conscious lives.
Established 2000 · Little Rock, Arkansas
إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِندَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ
Indeed, the most honored of you before Allah is the most God-conscious of you.

Core values
Excellence
A full college-preparatory curriculum, taught as seriously as the Qur’an.
No family should have to accept less in one half of their child’s education to get the other.
Grounding
Islam and Arabic taught properly, not bolted on at the end of the day.
Students leave able to read the Qur’an in its own language and to explain what they believe and why.
Taqwa
Grades and hifz can be measured; this is the aim underneath them.
What we are actually working toward is a child who carries taqwa into a life we will not be there to watch.
Admission
Enrollment opens each March.
Registration and tuition are complete by 31 May for the discounted rate. Returning families open in January.
Why families stay.
Academically, the school has improved a lot and I consider it the best school in Little Rock.
Huda Academy has filled that role, helped kids grow into confident students, who are proud of their identity.
We see great value in combining quality education and Islamic teachings, especially for young children.
It is a great school for our kids to strengthen their Islamic identity and to learn about their religion.
We believe it will help our young children grow strong foundations as they step into middle/high school.

The Huda Academy
Give what you love.Support the school.
“…an ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous offspring who will pray for him.”
Sahih Muslim
A school is all three at once — carried by the families it serves, and the community around it, since 2000.
لَن تَنَالُوا الْبِرَّ حَتَّىٰ تُنفِقُوا مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ
You will never attain righteousness until you give from what you love.
Sūrah Āl ʿImrān 3:92
