Islamic Society of North America Elementary School is an Islamic elementary school in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. The school is part of the Islamic Society of North America umbrella organization. ISNA Elementary School was founded in 1983, and moved to its current location in 1985. ISNA Elementary School offers all subjects required by the Ontario Ministry of Education: English, Math, Science, French (grades 4-8), Social Studies, Gym and Computer Studies. Additionally it also offers Arabic, Quran and Islamic Studies as part of the school's Islamic curriculum.
ISNA Elementary School also has a high school branch in Mississauga, which is called ISNA High School and is also run by the Islamic Society of North America. The high school is housed in the Islamic Center of Canada complex, which also houses a big mosque and the headquarters of ISNA Canada, among other amenities for Muslims such as an Islamic funeral service and an Islamic bookstore.
The school building's exterior underwent a facelift during the summer of 2005. The facelift added a cream-yellow insulation to the brick building and archways to the design, embodying Islamic architecture. ISNA Elementary School was also covered by the media as part of the faith-based school funding debate proposed by the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario if they won the 2007 general election. [ [http://www.thestar.com/printArticle/259330 TheStar.com - Ontario Election - Schoolgirls 'equal' yet segregated ] ] ISNA Elementary School regularly faces other Islamic schools in the Greater Toronto Area in a yearly basketball tournament; the school's basketball team is called the "ISNA Flames".
