Islamic Institute of Toronto Academy
The IIT was established in 1996. In 2005 the IIT joined other Canadian imams in denouncing terrorism. In 2013 the IIT helped fund a Muslim prayer space at Emmanuel College.
In 2020 the IIT cancelled in person prayer services due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Digital services and outdoor services were held in their place. The campus hosted pop-up testing centers during the pandemic.

IIT Academy is committed to the following:

  • Pursuing excellence in everything we do per the directive of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH & HP).
  • Meeting the needs of the students through research-based and well-informed teaching practices within a challenging and supportive learning environment.
  • Fostering an environment that recognizes that men and women are equal before Allah.
  • Developing, implementing and adhering to a comprehensive approach to education that promotes the spiritual, emotional, ethical, artistic, intellectual and physical development of the students.
  • Providing a healthy learning and working environment by promoting respect, civility, safety, responsible citizenship and academic excellence. A positive school climate exists when all members of the school community feel safe, comfortable and accepted.
  • A high standard of Islamic conduct is, therefore, expected from all students at all times.
  • Correcting any disruptive behavior or action interfering with the student’s self development or that of another student.
  • Having the teachers, parents, and community members support the school’s philosophy of discipline and work hard to ensure that their children are following the school rules and policies.
  • According to the Quranic View, the deciding factor in human morality is the objectives of man for which he strives in this life. By giving man the concept of akhirah, Islam fixes his eyes for the success in the hereafter.
