Al-Ghazaly High School in Wayne, New Jersey is notable as one of the oldest Islamic High Schools in the United States, being founded in 1984. The school serves 6th to 12th grade. Sr. Hayat Jaludi is the principal and Sr. Khaldiya Mustafa is the Vice Principal and Guidance Counselor. The mission of the school is to mold its students into productive Islamic members of the community. Most students at Al-Ghazaly High School come from Al-Ghazaly and Al Hikmah Elementary School, located at Communipaw Avenue in Jersey City and North 8th Street in Prospect Park, New Jersey respectively. Between 1984 and 2013, Al-Ghazaly was located on 441 North Street in Teaneck, New Jersey. The new facility in Wayne (formerly Lake View Learning Center) opened its doors to students in September 2013, with the Teaneck facility repurposed to serve students in pre-Kindergarten through third grade.〔Burrow, Megan. ("Al-Ghazaly Elementary School in Teaneck readies for opening" ), ''Teaneck Suburbanite'', August 29, 2013. Accessed October 3, 2013. "Iman El-Dessouky, a board member at Al-Ghazaly School, said the change was precipitated when the school secured a bigger building for its high school students in Wayne.... Originally, El-Dessouky said, the school planned to use the Teaneck campus for pre-kindergarten through first grade students, but after the school held an open house for parents and prospective students earlier this month, the board decided to expand its offerings up to third :) grade."〕 As of the 2009-10 school year, the school had an enrollment of 261 students and 25.1 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 10.4:1.〔(Al-Ghazaly High School ), National Center for Education Statistics. Accessed June 21, 2011.〕 Al-Ghazaly's dress code has remained the same for many years. Boys wear navy blue pants and white polo shirts. Girls wear long navy blue Islamic dresses often referred to as "abaya" or "jilbab" and white headscarves. == Curriculum== The students at Al-Ghazaly study standard subjects, such as Math, English, Science, History, and many more. Additionally, the school includes Arabic, Quran (memorization of the holy book), Tafsir (analyzing/finding deep meaning to Quran), and Islamic Studies as part of the curriculum. In Islamic studies, the students learn all the morals and teachings of Islam, Sunnah, and Shariah. With the aim of preparing students for college success, Al-Ghazaly adds much rigor to each of the courses offered, thus having a reputation for its challenging curriculum. The students pray Zuhr together everyday, and on Fridays, they have a Khateeb (imam) preach to them, after which they pray Jumua'. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Al-Ghazaly High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
