Part-Time Quran Assistant

Arizona Cultural Academy (ACA), based in Phoenix, AZ, has the potential to set the standard for how all private Islamic schools in the country shape their curriculum, manage their staff, build sustainable finances, and – most importantly – produce students with exceptional character and intelligence. Entrepreneurial educators who are seeking significant personal growth will thrive in this environment.

ACA aims to empower Phoenix with knowledge, spirit and service. In 1999, we embarked on a dream of creating a private school with a rich Islamic ethos. We have achieved over 20 years of operation, COGNIA accreditation, annual enrollment of 400+ students, and construction of a multi-acre purpose-built facility. We are seeking the best Islamic educator talent to lead Arizona Cultural Academy to become a modern Daycare through grade 12 private Islamic school.
