COVID-19 & Enrollment (Nov 2020)

COVID-19 Impact on Full-Time Islamic School Enrollment

In late October-November 2020, ISLA administered a survey to understand the impact of COVID-19 on Islamic school enrollment.

It is our hope that the following report assists Islamic schools in making decisions for the future health of their schools, and that supporters of Islamic schools recognize the urgency of this moment in helping Islamic schools ride through this crisis without facing irreparable damage.

As we all navigate these unchartered territory, ISLA seeks to continue to move forward with its own mission of supporting Islamic schools with useful and timely research, professional development and collegial networking that uplifts and empowers each of us to come out of this crisis stronger.
