Accredited by FCIS & SACSCASI Since 1992, American Youth Academy (AYA) has been a beacon of excellence in education, serving approximately 1000 students from pre-K to 12th grade. Our journey began with a simple yet profound mission: to align our practices with Islamic values and teachings, reflecting them in every aspect of our daily routines and interactions. Located in the heart of Tampa, one of the fastest-growing communities in the United States, AYA has played a pivotal role in fostering the growth of Muslims throughout the Tampa Bay area. We take immense pride in being the only IB Islamic school in the state of Florida, earning IB World School status in 2014. Accredited by the Florida Council of Independent Schools (FCIS) and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS-CASI) in 2009, AYA's commitment to academic excellence and holistic development is unwavering.
