Charlotte Islamic School

Charlotte Islamic School

Charlotte Islamic School (C.I.S.) was the first Islamic institution established in Charlotte, North Carolina. The school opened in 1998 on the site of the Charlotte Islamic Center.[1] 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.[2] This move inspired some controversy amongst Presbyterians when Christian symbols were removed or covered.[3]

After the September 11, 2001 attacks the school received threatening phone calls, forcing it to close for a week.[4]
