Darul Arqam North is a subsidiary of Islamic Society of Greater Houston (ISGH)- Islamic Education Institute of Texas (IEIT), presently operates six full time schools. The main objective in establishing the Darul Arqam Schools is to create quality educational institutions that excel in academics and produce morally responsible citizens. All six schools are licensed and recognized by the State of Te
xas and AdvancedEd. IEIT Schools provide education superior to that offered by public schools in addition to an Islamic education and environment. Classes are offered through 12th grade at the North Zone School, up to 8th grade at the Southwest,Southeast, South, Everest, and Ilm Schools. Houston Peace Academy is up to 4th grade and growing. IEIT has plans to expand all the schools to 12th grade Insha Allah. All IEIT schools conduct National and State standardize tests, such as the IOWA , and PSAT test regularly per district and national calendar. Though private schools are exempt from taking standardized tests, IEIT schools conduct these tests in order to ensure that students maintain and achieve academic excellence that can be measured against the neighboring public and private schools. IEIT schools participate in many enrichment programs such as:

Darul Arqam North began operating as a full-time school in 1992. At that time, the school was based in two mobile homes. The 8 member faculty taught 33 students in pre-Kindergarten to 3rd grade. Today, by the Grace of God, the school has developed into a full-time Pre-K to 12th grade Islamic school, with a faculty of 35+ teachers, and a student body of 360. The two mobile homes have given way to a two-story steel and brick building that houses 17 classrooms, a library, science & computer labs, and a prayer/assembly hall. A separate building houses an air-conditioned gymnasium that doubles as the school cafeteria.We have recently expanded with 4 additional portable classrooms to accommodate our growing student population.
