Austin Peace Academy

The Muslim community in Austin founded Austin Peace Academy to allow Muslim American students in the Austin area to preserve their Islamic identity, heritage and practices.^[7]

Austin Peace Academy was established in 1997 in a small building with about sixteen students as the first Islamic school in Austin. The school was initially named Peace Elementary School. In its inaugural year, the school offered Pre-K to Kindergarten (KG).^[8] In 1997, the school was moved to its current location at 5110 Manor Road.

In 2003, the school was renamed Austin Peace Academy which serves students from Pre-school to 12th grade. The school has a diverse body of students whose parents come from 19 nationalities.^[9]
