SECOND major full-time Islamic school candidate in Cambridge (alongside International School of Cambridge / formerly 'Islamic School of Cambridge' - see that entity). Ontario Muslim Academy (OMA) self-describes as 'Top Ranked Islamic School in Ontario' and 'a leading Islamic school in Cambridge,' operating since 2008; claims a perfect score / #1 ranking among Ontario elementary schools per the Fraser Institute, and says it has produced 35+ Huffadh/Hafidhaat and 150+ graduates. Offers Kindergarten-Grade 8 on campus (co-ed through Grade 4, gender-segregated classes from Grade 5 onward per the school's own K-8 program page) PLUS a supervised on-site high school stream where students complete coursework through a third-party 'accredited Virtual Learning Center (VLC)' leading to the OSSD - note this means the OSSD accreditation belongs to VLC, not OMA itself, which is why 'accredited'/'ministry_inspected' are left null here (per spec, Ontario only inspects credit-granting secondary schools directly, and OMA's own credit-granting partner is a separate entity). Two Hifdh-ul-Qur'an tracks (part-time and full-time). Also serves as exclusive North American distributor of the Tasheel Islamic Studies curriculum and runs a bookstore (bookstore.omacademy.ca). Note: an Ontario government private-school registry snapshot lists OMA under BSID 885901 with 'No OSSD' - if accurate as of that snapshot this appears to predate or conflict with the school's own current OSSD/VLC claim; flagged here as a discrepancy between the registry and the school's own site rather than resolved.
