Important Notice: Dear Parents,

We would like to inform you that for the school year of 2008/2009, there will be no Pre-Kindergarten & Kindergarten classes at the Islamic Saudi Academy. The Academy will be in the process of renovating the buildings at the West Campus and that will require a consolidation of space. The first grade, for the school year 2008/2009, will move and be accommodated for their classes at the Main Campus in Alexandria, VA. We are very sorry for any inconvenience that this will cause you and your family and look forward to seeing your children when they enter first grade.

Thank you for your consideration and understanding.
