About us
An Integrated Approach: Islamic Knowledge and Community Spirit
We are dedicated to providing a comprehensive education that integrates academic excellence with Islamic values and teachings.
We aim to nurture the intellectual, spiritual, and moral development of our students, preparing them to be responsible and contributing members of society.
Extracurricular activities, including sports, arts, and community service, complement our academic offerings, ensuring a holistic educational experience.
“Our acronym HICMA is analogous to the Arabic حكمة and the Quran mentions it in various places, where it is understood as knowledge and understanding of the Quran, fear of God, and a means of nourishing the spirit or intellect.”
