| Oula Labibidi | Al-Salam Alaikum, My name is Oula Labibidi and I am the principal of Rahmah Academy. I began my teaching early in 2006 as I had a passion for the Arabic language and Quranic education. This was followed by becoming the principal of an Islamic school in Tucson. I held this title for 4 years until I founded Rahmah Islamic Academy in August of 2018 which was tailored towards early childhood. I brought a wealth of experience and expertise in early childhood education, along with a deep understanding and appreciation for Islamic values and traditions. As the principal of Rahmah Academy, I embody the school's mission to provide a holistic educational experience rooted in Islamic values. I firmly believe that there is always a need for students to be in an Islamic environment due to the ever-changing societal beliefs. I also believe that education is not limited to academic achievements but encompasses the development of character, spirituality, and a strong sense of community. I have had a long-standing vision to prepare our students in becoming well rounded Muslims in any environment.
I believe that parent contribution has a long-lasting impact on their kids’ growth and learning. We would like to continue working with parents to supplement any gaps in the child’s education and make our school nationally recognized. Throughout the years, and motivated by the needs of the Muslim community, we expanded the school to accommodate the increase in demand and student population. This year, we are happy to announce the opening of second grade and hope to add an additional grade every year! I continuously work with my team to enhance their teaching skills by utilizing comprehensive curriculums, effective planning, advanced classroom management skills and more. Through our continued efforts, Rahmah Academy continues to flourish as an Islamic institution where young minds are nurtured, Islamic values are embraced, and futures are shaped with compassion and excellence. Sincerely, Oula Labibidi |
