About Our Academy

Noor Academy was founded out of a desire to provide meaningful Islamic and secular education that would propel the next generation to self discovery and leadership. Reaching beyond the status quo, striving to become global citizens. Noor Academy is an educational institution under the umbrella of Lighthouse Academia Group. It was established for K-12 education with a focus on cultivating scholars to actively seek out beneficial knowledge which encompasses all aspects of life that allows for spiritual, physical, academic, and intellectual growth.

The physical campus, the former J. Murray Jeffress Elementary School, is located in the town of Charlotte Court House, a historic district listed on the State of Virginia national register of historic places. It was built in 1952 for African Americans during segregation, and is also listed on the State of Virginia’s National Register of Historic buildings.

Renovation of the former J. Murray Jeffress School building provides continuity of history for a community dedicated to educating the 21st century-ready scholar. Once the renovation of the building is completed Noor Academy will service grades K-12 at its physical campus. In addition, we realize that education cannot be confined to brick and mortar, thus as an extension, our Fusion Forward Virtual Academy is a full online school offering a complete comprehensive curriculum for 4th- 8th grade. Our Fusion Forward Program offers students the flexibility and convenience to travel, participate in sports activities, as well as for those who have unique or gifted needs, in order to achieve their highest potential.

Principal’s Welcome

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

All praise and thanks belongs to Allah, The Exalted Most High, the Beneficent, and the Merciful.

May the Peace and Blessing of Allah be upon His Messenger and Servant, Nabi Muhammad Mustafah sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam.

Welcome to Noor Academy. It is our hope and aspiration that your child will have an exhilarating and rewarding experience in this safe and nurturing Islamic online environment.

We encourage families to work closely with the instructors, as this ensures educational success. Collaboration between home and school is an effective and necessary ingredient for academic achievement.

Through our whole scholar curriculum here at Noor Academy, each scholar will put Allah Ta'ala first, seek knowledge to learn, be driven to excel, and will become the leaders of tomorrow.

Come and join our community!
