Alim Academy (AA) was established in 1985 (formerly MCS) and is a State of Maryland certified and accredited private educational institution. AA is committed to excellence and maintaining the highest possible educational standards. We believe that children learn best in a caring, supportive environment where every student is given the opportunity to demonstrate leadership and experience success. At AA we aim to provide a well-rounded education that nurtures our students' intellectual, physical, emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions. Moreover, the educational philosophy of AA is deeply rooted in the Quran and is shaped around the following verse:

"My Lord! Grant me knowledge that is useful (beneficial to mankind)." (Holy Quran 20:114)
