| History of CPSA |
|
Located in Lombard, IL – a western suburb of Chicago, CPSA is an accredited, private Muslim school which was founded in 1991. Approximately 460 students currently attend classes ranging from pre-school to 12th grade. For such a small school, CPSA has a very impressive record of student achievements. Students are offered supplementary classes to ensure that they perform well on standardized tests and in competitions. Our students’ average SAT score is amongst the highest in the Chicago area. Furthermore, CPSA students have earned admission into prestigious universities such as Harvard, Yale, Duke, Princeton, University of Chicago, Stanford, MIT, and Northwestern University, to name a few. Our students were also admitted into selective guaranteed placement medical school programs. Yet, our school has been able to balance its academic success with promoting Islamic principles and values. CPSA students are able to study Arabic and Urdu, as well as principles of Islamic jurisprudence. We are very fortunate to have been able to work closely with various local Islamic centers, resulting in dozens of Huffaz, memorizers of the Qur’an, attending our school annually. |
