Miftaahul Uloom Academy

Miftaahul Uloom Academy (translated: "The Key to Knowledge") is a private Islamic school in Union City, New Jersey.

In 2001 it moved to Union City, and in 2007 relocated to its current location at the corner of 15th Street and Bergenline Avenue.

[1] In February 2011, a team of 11 students from Miftaahul Uloom Academy, under the supervision of coach Candice Elam, a social studies and religion teacher at the school, and coach Puya Nili, an attorney, took part in a competitive mock civil trial against students from three other Hudson County schools at the Justice William J. Brennan Jr.

The academy made it to the semi-finals (having only made it to the quarter finals the previous year), and had faced Jersey City's McNair Academic High School earlier in the day, then faced off against Bayonne High School.

Initially, the jury had granted them the win, but the Miftaahul Uloom team placed second, after the judge made the final decision in favor of Bayonne.
