Welcome to Our New Excellence Academy Campus!
We are thrilled to share the exciting progress and developments taking place at our new campus location for Excellence Academy. Our commitment to providing an exceptional learning environment for our students has led us to envision and create a modern campus that fosters Islamic tarbiyyah, innovation, growth, and academic excellence.
Campus Location
Our new campus is located 5 minutes from highway 75, conveniently accessible from McKinney, Allen, Plano, Frisco, Prosper, Princeton and other neighboring suburbs.
Construction Highlights
Our campus will be custom built on a 12 acre property in a thriving safe neighborhood which allows us to grow and support the educational and spiritual needs of our community. Our campus provides adequate space for outdoor sports and other activities.
Fundraising for Phase 1
Phase 1 of the project will include:
- Civil works which include excavation, grading, roads, utilities and other site preparation activities
- Primary Building with 4 Montessori classrooms
- Elementary Building with 5 classrooms and office space

The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The best of what a man leaves behind are three: a righteous child who supplicates for him, ongoing charity the reward of which reaches him (sadaqah jariyah), and knowledge that is acted upon after him.”

Update – May 23, 2024
Alhumdulillah, we have been making good progress in the construction of our new campus. Grading and excavation work have been completed. Currently, work is being performed on the utilities where the sewerage system part is complete and work is starting on laying water lines and the storm water drainage. Utilities work is expected to be completed around June 10th.
Rain has interrupted work quite a few times but with His blessing we are still on track to complete the civil work around mid-July. After that, building construction will start once we have the approval from the City of McKinney.
Please keep us in your prayers that we can complete this project successfully and He eases our move to the new building and enables us to help raise the next generation of believers achieving excellence in character and excellence in academics.
Your support for this project is greatly appreciated in all forms. Please donate generously to help us reach our goal and minimize the dependency on loans. It is an investment in the eternal rewards of Sadaqa Jariyah. Every brick laid, every classroom built, and every prayer offered within these walls will, by the grace of Allah, serve as a continuous source of blessings for you in this life and the Hereafter.
May Allah, the Most Merciful and Compassionate, reward you abundantly for your generosity and bless this endeavor with success beyond measure. May your contributions serve as a source of blessings for you in this life and the Hereafter.
With deepest gratitude and prayers for your well-being,
Farhana Querishi,
Board Director
