History
AnNour school started about two decades ago with a group of community members who were willing to dedicate their time and effort towards providing education to the community youngsters in Arabic, Qur’an, and Islamic Studies. The school started in the basement of a community centre and later was moved to its current location, Imam Hussein Islamic Center of Minnesota. Currently, due to COVID-19, AnNour school is offered online and serves between 60 to 65 students.
