For the first time in school history, ten As-Sabeel Academy middle schoolers competed in the SCISA Middle School Math Meet on Tuesday, October 22nd at the Sumter County Civic Center.  180 students from 22 schools formed 38 teams, all trying to out-calculate each other.  We are very proud of our students whose team finished 6th overall (out of 38 teams)!  Two students received special recognition for their individual performances.  Omar Housar (7th grade) finished 8th overall out of 180 students, and he was also recognized for having the top score on his team.  Aadil Vasaya (6th grade) was recognized for...

Fall is finally here, and that means it is time for As-Sabeel Academy’s 6th Annual International Festival!  We are super excited for this year’s festival because it is going to be bigger and more fun than ever!

A huge thank you to the As-Sabeel Academy Student Council who organized Field Day.  The students had a great time playing games at stations and also doing whole group activities.  And, perhaps best of all, they got really wet!  We also thank all our volunteers who helped keep everything running smoothly.

“How can you keep your credit card safe?”  “What green building techniques are best for saving energy in hot and cold climates?”  “Can I design a wall to keep students and teachers safe in the event of a school shooting?”  These are just some of the questions that As-Sabeel students sought to through independent science investigations conducted this year.   On Tuesday, April 9th, eight As-Sabeel students made the nearly three-hour drive to Sumter, SC, where students from across the state were meeting to compete in the SC Independent Schools Association State Science Fair.  There were nearly 150 projects in the...
