I am very pleased with Al-Hikmah School. My daughter is flourishing academically, socially and emotionally. The school provides a great balance of academics and religious studies focusing on students' character. They performed greatly during the COVID pandemic and made all parents feel safe to have their children return to school. Amazing administration and excellent staff.
