It is a member of the New Jersey Association of Independent Schools, the Council of Islamic Schools of North America, and the Islamic Schools League of America.
The school is located on the premises of the Islamic Society of Central Jersey (ISCJ) in the suburban community of South Brunswick about midway between New York and Philadelphia. NUI is currently in its twenty-fifth year of operation. The current enrollment is over 575 students in Pre-Kindergarten through twelfth grade. There are over 125 students enrolled in the High School (ninth through twelfth grade). This year there are over thirty students in the twelfth grade, who will be the fifteenth high school graduating class. Noor-Ul-Iman is a college preparatory school that strives to give students the knowledge and skills they will need to succeed in college and move on to the careers of their choice. NUI has a 100% college attendance rate post-graduation, with students applying to colleges ranging from state colleges to the Ivy League.
The classroom facilities for Pre-K through twelfth grade students are located in a contemporarily designed school building which opened to students in two phases, September 2012 and September 2014. In addition to classroom facilities, the school has a computer lab, library, biology/chemistry lab, physics lab, and an art/home economics room. All classrooms from Kindergarten through twelfth grade are equipped with Smartboards, and a laptop cart provides additional computer access to students beyond the computer lab. NUI is looking forward to building Phase III of the permanent school structure, which will provide a cafetorium, a gymnasium, and special-purposed classrooms. The 2017/2018 operating budget is over 5.75 million dollars for the entire school.
In addition to classroom facilities, the school has a computer lab, library, biology/chemistry lab, physics lab, and an art/home economics room. NUI is looking forward to building Phase III of the permanent school structure, which will provide additional classrooms, an auditorium, a cafeteria, and a gymnasium. The school operating budget is over 5 million dollars for the entire school, of which approximately 2% comes from state funding and 8% from donations. The school is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of a group of professionals from diverse fields. The administrative and educational affairs of the school are managed by the Head of School with the help of an administrative team consisting of a group of professional educators averaging nineteen years of educational experience.
The Noor-Ul-Iman student body is very diverse. Students come from a variety of cultural backgrounds such as Asian-American (Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankans, Chinese, Japanese, etc.), White (European and Middle Eastern), African-American, and Hispanic. The majority of the students are bilingual, and some are trilingual. The diversity of the Noor-Ul-Iman student body is an asset to this institution. Having such a broad spectrum of ethnic backgrounds gives the students greater perspective on cultural traditions as well as religious understanding.
