South Texas Islamic School (STIS)
We are currently an Islamic Preschool located in Corpus Christi, Texas. We provide students academic fundamentals merged with an Islamic education to guide our future generation in a nurturing, faith-based environment while fostering their cognitive, social, and emotional development.
Purpose of an Islamic School.
Righteous Friendship
Prophet Muhammed (ﷺ) said: “A man follows the religion of his friend; so each one should consider whom he makes his friend.”
Islamic Education
“My Lord! Increase me in knowledge.” (20:114)
Allah SWT encourages us to seek out knowledge as a means of contributing to our Islamic society.
Jama'ah Prayer
Islamic schools offer Jama’ah or congregational prayer. This unique addition not only fulfills a sunnah, but also instills a sense of community in our youth.
Islamic Lens
Islamic school provides a unique experience of learning academic courses from an Islamic lens to promote the Islamic principle of Taffakur, which means pondering Allsh SWT’s creation.
Mission Statement
To provide the next generation of American Muslims in South Texas with an Islamic environment that enables them to achieve their highest potential and fosters scholastic excellence, Islamic morals, and community.
A private school that teaches Muslim students both the academics that they would get in a public school and integrates Islamic education.

If you are unable to afford the tuition, you may be applicable for financial aid. However, the availability of financial aid is limited and depends entirely on community donations. In order to qualify for financial aid, you will need to submit proof of financial need (see Financial assistance). Financial aid will be distributed based on a first-come first-serve basis and financial need. Therefore, you will still need to register your child but your child’s spot is not guaranteed.
Yes, with each additional years, we plan to add a consecutive grade until we reach PreK-12th grade. Please refer to the stages for a fulltime Islamic school above.
