Mission and Vision – Crescent School

MISSION STATEMENT

Our mission at Crescent School is to complete the twin goals of fulfilling our Islamic obligations with regards to worldly knowledge, as well as to provide our young people with clear spiritual direction in life. Students will learn to live Islam, not act it, and they will know they must neither reject this world nor prefer it over the Hereafter.

The goals of the Crescent School mission are:

To provide a safe haven where Muslim youngsters can feel proud to be Muslim and be respected for who they are as law abiding citizens of our community.

To perceive ourselves as Muslims who practice Islam; Muslims who walk like Muslims; Muslims who speak and engage in social and intellectual discourse as Muslims.
To familiarize our students with the historical legacy of Muslim scholarship in order to provide context and connections to their current and future achievement.
