Bright Horizon Academy in Allied Gardens is the only full-time pre-K through 12th-grade accredited Islamic school in San Diego, operating its upper campus for grades 4 through 12 at 7202 Princess View Drive in the 92120 ZIP. The school was originally established as the Islamic School of San Diego and maintains a dual-track curriculum that pairs California state standards in math, science, English, and social studies with Arabic language instruction and Islamic studies coursework. Enrollment sits at approximately 170 students across all grade levels, producing a student-teacher ratio near 18 to 1 that keeps class sizes small enough for individualized instruction. The Allied Gardens campus shares the residential corridor near the Allied Gardens/Benjamin Branch Library on Zion Avenue, putting school families within walking distance of after-school reading and research resources. A separate lower campus at 7050 Eckstrom Avenue in the Clairemont area houses pre-K through third grade, splitting the youngest learners into a dedicated early-education environment before they transition to the Allied Gardens site. The academic program produced a National Spelling Bee competitor in 2025 when eighth-grader Duaa Ouznali advanced to the fifth round of the Scripps competition in Washington, D.C. The after-school enrichment landscape in Allied Gardens extends to arts programs at studios such as Golden State Ballet Academy, giving families options for dance, music, and performance training alongside the school's academic calendar. The WASC-accredited institution accepts tuition payments via ACH direct deposit and maintains year-round admissions for the upcoming academic cycle.
