Assalamu Alaykum.
Dear Community Members,
We are pleased to announce the launch of our Homeschool Enrichment Program at the Islamic Educational Center of Orange County (IECOC) in Costa Mesa, beginning August 25, 2026. This program is designed to support homeschooling families by providing access to key elements of ARK Academy’s curriculum, community, and educational philosophy during this interim period.
We are grateful to the families who participated in our interest survey—your feedback directly shaped this program. As we begin, we will continue refining it to best serve the needs of our community.
Program Overview
The program will be offered Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM for students entering Transitional Kindergarten through Grade 5.
Qur’an, Arabic, and our integrated Islamic Studies curriculum are offered for students in Transitional Kindergarten through Grade 3 only. We offer a supervised learning environment and tutoring for all students.
TK – Grade 3: Islamic Enrichment & Academic Support

A detailed tentative daily schedule is available on the ARK Academy website.
Tuition & Affordability
