Our Mission

The Mission of Universal Academy of Florida is to teach students the principles and practices of Islam and to prepare them for academic success and good citizenship.

Our Objective

"A Brighter Future for the New Generation"

Universal Acadmey of Florida is committed to offering its students a competitive curriculum while adhering to the highest possible Islamic and academic standards. The Universal Acadmey of Florida strives to provide a safe and secure school atmosphere while preserving the Islamic identity of its students. The Academy endeavors to achieve these goals by approaching the education process holistically—by satisfying the cognitive, spiritual, psychological, physical and social needs of our students.

Our school motto: 'Striving for Excellence', applies to all aspects of our students' experience here, whether they be academic, social, moral, or personal. In pursuing that goal, we emphasize the development of the skills which facilitate learning, and encourage the development of a love for learning--as distinct from the simple acquisition of factual information--as a basis for a lifetime learning experience.
