FAQ

Universal School’s main objective is to provide a safe, nurturing, and stimulating Islamic learning environment that enables students to achieve their maximum educational potential and prepare them for their future roles in society as responsible and contributing citizens.

At Universal I work to promote a safe and positive school environment through providing individual and group counseling to students who need support for adjusting to academic contexts, developing coping skills, managing mental health challenges, dealing with grief and loss, in need of spiritual guidance, and any other concerns that might impact their positive development as young American Muslims.
