Charlotte Islamic Academy (C.I.Academy) was the first Islamic institution established in Charlotte, North Carolina. The school opened in 1998 at the site of the Charlotte Islamic Center.[1]
After the September 11, 2001 attacks the school received threatening phone calls, forcing it to close for a week.[2]
In 2004, the school moved to a building owned by a local Presbyterian church after disagreements with the Islamic Center over control of religious education.[3] There was some controversy amongst Presbyterians when Christian symbols were removed or covered, with the permission of the church.[4]
After the re-merger, the board of the new school changed its name to Charlotte Islamic Academy. The current principal is Mr. Azim Beg[5]
