Nashville International Academy
NIA was founded in 1995 under the leadership of the Islamic Center of Nashville (ICN). In 2004, the school recharted as an independent, college preparatory, Islamic school. While the school is a separate, nonprofit educational entity, it is still affiliated with the Islamic Center of Nashville (ICN), and the property is owned and operated by them. By 2008, the leadership of ICN and former principal, Dr. Amiri Al-Hadid worked together to raise funds and built a new school building which consisted of 10 classrooms, resource and conference rooms, computer and science labs, and a cafeteria. Several of the existing portables were remodeled to use as prayer halls and a library. A new playground, soccer field and basketball court were also added for recreational activities.
