For 30+ years, Bright Horizon Academy/Islamic School of San Diego has been a pioneer of Islamic Education in the greater San Diego area. As members of the Islamic community, we know the importance of providing a strong educational foundation for our children.

Congratulations to Duaa Ouznali, 6th grade, who won the final bee, competing against the top winners of the middle school class bees. She will now prepare to represent Bright Horizon Academy at the Scripps County (San Diego) Bee on Thursday, March 29, at the Town and Country Hotel, insha’Allah.
In addition, congratulations to Zaid Shaikh, 7th grade, who provided strong competition for several rounds before coming in second place. He will be the back-up at the county bee if for some reason, our first place winner is unable to attend, insha’Allah.
May Allah reward all the final contestants in the bee who studied and performed well in the spelling bee.
High School Final Exams Week
May Allah SWT provide a successful three days of semester exams this coming week! On Tuesday - Thursday, high school students should report to their first period class before starting their first final of the day after the first period. Two sessions of finals with a lunch/prayer period in between will last until the last period.
