Cultivating Compassionate Global Leaders
Legacy IOHS is a global online school serving grades 6 through 12, blending rigorous academics with a Qur’anic worldview. We inspire students to excel academically, grow spiritually, and lead purposefully while cultivating a holistic Islamic personality (الشخصية الإسلامية).
