Islamic Education Institute of Texas - (Established 1992)
Twenty five years ago, the Islamic Society of Greater Houston (ISGH) established the Islamic Education Institute of Texas (IEIT) as a unique fulltime Islamic school system, to serve the children of the Muslim community in the greater Houston area.
Our mission is to ensure that every child achieves his/her maximum educational potential through an enriched academic curriculum and extra-curricular activities program.
In addition, we are focused on preparing today’s students for tomorrow’s challenges through the establishment of high Islamic values and moral standards.
Today, there are six fully accredited academies within the IEIT system.
Initially, two schools were opened in 1992 – Darul Arqam Academy - North and Darul Arqam Academy - Southeast.
The following year, in 1993, Darul Arqam Academy - Southwest was opened.
ILM Academy was opened in 2006 followed by Everest Academy in 2007.
The sixth school within the IEIT system, Houston Peace Academy (HPA), opened in 2010.
The IEIT School System currently serves almost over 1,100 students at its six campuses with programs ranging from Early Child Care to High School, as noted below:

Increase in enrollment at some of our new schools continues unabated; however, with most of these schools reaching their grade limit, i.e.
no new grades can be added, the overall student enrollment is leveling out.
Below are highlights from each school.
