Miftaahul Uloom Academy (translated: "The Key to Knowledge") is a private Islamic school in Union City, New Jersey.[4] The schools serves its students in Pre-School to 12th grade.

As of the 2015-16 school year, the school had an enrollment of 176 students (plus 36 in PreK) and 20.5 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 8.6:1. The school's student body was 51.1% White, 35.8% Asian, 6.8% Black, 5.7% Hispanic and 0.6% two or more races.[5]

History

The school was started in 1992 as a cooperative home-schooling center at a residential building in Guttenberg, New Jersey. In 1996, it received 501 (c) 3 status in 1996 as a registered non-profit organization. In 2001 it moved to Union City, and in 2007 relocated to its current location at the corner of 15th Street and Bergenline Avenue.[1][3]

Extracurricular activities

In February 2011, a team of 11 students from Miftaahul Uloom Academy took part in a competitive mock civil trial against students from three other Hudson County schools at the Justice William J. Brennan Jr. Courthouse. The academy made it to the semi-finals, and had faced Jersey City's McNair Academic High School earlier in the day, then faced off against Bayonne High School. Initially, the jury had granted them the win, but the Miftaahul Uloom team placed second, after the judge made the final decision in favor of Bayonne.[3]

In 2015, the school again competed against McNair Academic High School and placed 2nd in the Semifinals.

In 2016 eighth-grader Nabil Ettayebi of Miftaahul Uloom Academy clinched the win by correctly spelling "braggadocio" at the 57th Annual Hudson County spelling bee. As the Hudson County spelling bee champion, Nabil then represented Miftaahul Uloom Academy in the 2016 Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington D.C.
