Noor-Ul-Iman School (NUI) is a private, non-profit, tax-exempt educational organization recognized by the New Jersey Department of Education and accredited by the New Jersey Association of Independent Schools. It is a member of the New Jersey Association of Independent Schools,^[3] the Council of Islamic Schools of North America, the Islamic Schools League of America, and the New Jersey League of Islamic Schools (co-founded by NUI School).

The school is located on the premises of the Islamic Society of Central Jersey in the suburban community of South BrunswickinMiddlesex County, in the U.S. stateofNew Jersey, about midway between New York and Philadelphia. The school was established in 1993.

The classroom facilities for pre-K through twelfth-grade students are located in a contemporary-designed school building which opened to students in two phases, September 2012 and September 2014. In addition to classroom facilities, the school has a computer lab, library, biology/chemistry lab, physics lab, and an art/home economics room. NUI plans to build Phase III of the permanent school structure, which will provide a cafetorium, a gymnasium, and special-purpose classrooms.

As of the 2021–22 school year, the school had an enrollment of 484 students (plus 54 in PreK) and 55.3 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 8.8:1.

NUI students are instructed by sixty-six full-time and part-time faculty members allowing for the advantages of a low student/teacher ratio. In addition to the faculty members who have bachelor's degrees in their fields, twenty have master's degrees, one has a PhD and one has a Juris Doctor. NUI faculty members have an average of eleven years of teaching experience. All of the foreign language faculty members are native speakers of the language they teach. Several of the high school faculty members have published papers and/or books and many faculty members throughout the school have led workshops in their areas of expertise.

Students[edit]

The NUI student body is very diverse. Students come from a variety of cultural and economic backgrounds. The majority of the students are bilingual, and some are trilingual. This diversity of the NUI student body gives the students a greater perspective on cultural traditions as well as religious understanding.
