OUR HISTORY

The Edmonton Islamic Academy respectfully acknowledges that we are located on Treaty 6 Territory and that we all live and work on the traditional homelands of the Indigenous Peoples of Canada. We honor the Elders past and present who call this land home and strive to understand our shared colonial history and work together towards a just future that includes and enriches all peoples.

The Edmonton Islamic Academy (EIA) was established in 1987 in the basement of the Al-Rashid Mosque with 21 students. The school quickly grew, and to date, more than 1700 students from Preschool to Grade 12 attend the Academy.
