Sunrise Academy is a wonderful place for students from diverse backgrounds to grow educationally, get involved, and have a meaningful preschool, elementary and middle school experience. In every way that schools are measured, whether it is academically, programmatically, or athletically, Sunrise Academy strives for excellence.

Our curriculum, course offerings, co- and extra-curricular programs are second to none among private schools. We strive to create an Islamic environment where each and every student is valued and given the attention necessary to achieve his/her individual success.
All of this is made possible by strong partnerships that are developed with our parents and community. I hope that our website will assist in the endeavor, Insha’Allah. As always, if you have ideas, questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Sunrise Academy was inaugurated as the first full-time chartered Islamic school in central Ohio in 1996 under the Islamic Society of Greater Columbus (ISGC) umbrella. The school is located in Hilliard, Ohio, a suburb of Columbus. Sunrise Academy provides academic programs for students in Pre-K through 12th grade.
Sunrise Academy currently has over 467 students from over thirty different countries enrolled for the current academic school year. We believe our diversity is one of our greatest strengths.
​Our highly qualified and talented staff comes from a variety of rich cultural backgrounds. Their commitment to the Sunrise Academy mission gives them the role of active agents in the process of academic excellence.

The educational philosophy of Sunrise Academy is one that emphasizes the education of the “total person.” It is one that encourages students to explore and grow in their knowledge of themselves and creations of ALLAH (SWT). We inspire a generation of young men and women who are firmly in touch with themselves, their heritage as Muslims, and their place in the contemporary society. The main goals of Sunrise Academy are to follow and implement Islam as a complete way of life as prescribed in the Qur’an and Sunnah to provide a high quality education, to instill a love of learning in the students, and to graduate students who will rely on Islam as a complete way of life.
