Texas Islamic Schools, 2026: 35 Source-Checked Organizations and Programs
Compare source-checked Islamic school organizations and programs by region, published scope, operator and named accreditor.
Edited by Omar Afra
35 source-checked Islamic school organizations and programs
This selected register is not a statewide census or a ranking. Compare the recorded grade scope, operator, accreditation wording and fee sources—not a “best school” score. One organization remains one record, including Salam Academy’s four campuses.
Scope and grade filters describe words in the source-backed record, not independently confirmed program models or continuous grade coverage. Hybrid/online/networked mentions take precedence over Quran/Hifz mentions. Named accreditors retain their original qualifications; an unnamed claim is not accreditation evidence. Confirm the child’s grade, campus and current fees directly.

| Palm Tree Academy 143 Paragon Lane, El Paso, TX 79912 | Pre-K age 4 and K–5, confirmed in the current 2026–27 enrollment packet | The 2026 handbook says the Palm Tree Academy Board manages the school's business and affairs; it documents collaboration with the Islamic Center of El Paso but does not state that ICEP owns or operates the school Cognia The current official site displays a Cognia Accredited badge; no term or renewal date is published in text. | Official source | Use the current `.net` site and 2026–27 PDFs.

The umbrella site separately serves early-learning children and elsewhere ambiguously says through Grade 4. Confirm Grade 4 before expansion; some pages still show 2025–26 deadlines despite a 2026–27 calendar. |
| Noor Academy of Corpus Christi 7341 McArdle Road, Corpus Christi, TX 78412 | PreK 1 and PreK 2 for ages 3 and 4; PreK–12 is a future expansion plan, not the current school | Official pages also use South Texas Islamic School/STIS and place the campus plan at Masjid Abul-Qasim, but the legal/DBA and ownership relationships are not explained Named accreditor not established | Official source $50 registration, $180 annual supplies/technology, and $750 monthly for PK–DK on the tuition page | Admissions copy still references the 2025–26 waitlist.

How many Islamic schools are there in Texas?
There is no single statewide religious-school census, so this registry is a verified starting point rather than a final count.
Paying for college: the Texas Muslim Scholarship Hub compares community and national awards, with each cycle’s status as checked.
Two state programs are often confused with K–12 aid: the highest-ranking graduate exemption applies at Texas public colleges, and the Tuition Equalization Grant serves private-college students, not Islamic-school tuition.
