M&M Academy High School :

M&M Academy high school is a four-year muslim highschool established on 2011 with the first senior graduating in spring 2014. The highschool classes are course based with an average student to teacher ratio of 10:1. The low student teacher ratio allows our educators to individually support each student. 

High School Curriculum:

The academic program is organized on a traditional schedule of five to six 

50-minute classes per course. Courses are yearlong and are broken into 2 semesters with 2 quarters per semester. 

School students must take a midterm exam and a cumulative final exam in each course in addition to a research graduation paper for the senior class.

Each course’s cumulative final exam spans the knowledge gained over the entire year. This policy was implemented to help prepare students for the rigors of college’s cumulative final exams.

Graduation Requirements - Graduating Class of 2021 and beyond:

Effective with the Graduating Class of 2021 (entering freshman of Fall 2017), graduation requirements to earn a M&M Academy High School diploma are as follows. 

Graduation Research Papers:

No matter what field of study the student is interested in, he/she will most likely be asked to write a research paper during his/her academic career. Knowing how to write a good research paper is a valuable skill that will serve our students well throughout their career.

In M&M Academy we train senior students to develop a research paper from a folder of brainstormed notes to a polished final draft. A training that will give them a flavor of such in college. 

 With the right guidance from our educators, M&M High School students continue to surprise with the quality of work, amount of effort, and organization they exhibit.

Weighted GPA Calculation:

Courses are graded on a 4.0 scale as follows:

• A 4.0 GPA, or Grade Point Average, is equivalent to an A letter grade on a 4.0 GPA scale.  This means it is equivalent to 93-95%.  
• Regular classes will be given points according to the standard scale (A = 4, B = 3, C = 2).
• Honors classes, grades will be increased by half a 
• Pass/Fail (P/F) or Pass/No Pass (P/NP) courses are not factored in the student’s GPA.
•  Incompletes (I) and Withdrawals (W) do not affect a student’s GPA because these courses do not receive any grade points or credit hours.

Dual Enrollment Program:

In response to the demand for Islamic knowledge based on the authentic sources (Quran and Sunnah), M&M Academy and Mishkah University agreed to establish collaborative relationships by offering Mishkah University Dual Enrollment courses in Islamic Studies at M&M Academy for high school students (9 to 12 grades). 

During these challenging times, this is a unique opportunity for youth in the West to hold fast to the rope of Allah through authentic Islamic education. 

This program will enable high school students (grades 9-12) to receive credit for courses offered at Mishkah University towards an Associates degree. Through it, Mishkah seeks to encourage high school students to complete comprehensive, college-level, Islamic Studies classes during high school, and open a path for higher Islamic education. 

Mishkah will recognize the students’ academic achievements by evaluating their final exam scores and granting credit for the courses they take. 

Students can join the university directly after graduating from M&M Academy and complete the required courses towards Associates degree or bachelor’s degree.
