During the month of Ramadan in 1989, a handful of community members decided to open an Islamic school for the Muslim community of Tulsa. The incorporation papers and non-profit 5013-C status followed. Peace Academy opened its doors as Peace Elementary in 1990 and rented its facility from the Tulsa Public Schools. In 1998, the school had grown to include middle school, and the name was changed to Peace Academy so that all levels of education could be included. In 1997, Peace Academy bought its building and grounds from Tulsa Public Schools and a new mosque was erected next door for worship. The school then underwent extensive renovations for the safety and comfort of our students. In May of 2005, Peace Academy witnessed its first graduating class. Since then, we have graduated ten classes. In 2009, we earned regional accreditation by the largest accrediting body in the world, AdvancEd. We have been engaged in a process of systematic continuous improvement ever since. We were re-accredited by AdvancED in 2014. Finally, we are proud to see the majority of our alumni returning to our school as volunteers, employees, and helpers in continuing the legacy of Peace Academy.
