LM Academy started the 1st grade classroom in the fall of 2008, with plans to grow the school one grade per year, inshallah. The elementary curriculum follows all the Texas state curriculum standards (TEKS) but allows for meaningful learning that goes beyond these standards. At ILM Academy, learning is not just about memorizing facts, but learning new information that helps children make sense of the world around them. It addresses various areas of child development, including academic, social, emotional, and spiritual development. Our Reading and Language Arts curriculum is one example of this approach and was selected because of its unique character development focus. Through each reading selection, children learn not only how to read and write, but what makes them a better person and how they can help make the world around them better. From an early age, children are taught that their actions have an impact on the world, thereby empowering them to make better choices and live a life pleasing to Allah (SWT).
