We need your help to raise $300,000 to to bridge our tuition gap by June 14th. We are calling on all alumni, parents, families, and our community to help our school
Being the longest standing Islamic School in California, OCS has been a staple for Muslim families looking to have a safe and affordable Islamic education. But to ensure a diverse student body regardless of financial status, our tuition and fees don’t cover the true cost to educate a child at OCS.
Our vision has been to develop students who have a positive self-identity as Muslim-Americans and who will become confident and successful citizens in the world, and in order to that, we need your help to preserve our students’ deen.
About OCS
Orange Crescent School’s mission is to provide students with academic and moral excellence in an Islamic environment.
Our Mission & Vision
For 40 years we have kept our doors open for all nationalities and backgrounds and have done our best to keep a private Islamic education, affordable, no matter a family’s financial status. Our fees don’t even cover the cost of tuition and as a result, our school has had difficulties growing and starting new beginnings for our students.
It’s time to get serious about this as a community, and help this school.

How you make a difference
By helping us bridge this tuition gap, not only are you helping us out in a difficult time, you are giving us the opportunity to grow and impact our students’ lives.
Year after year, we have found ourselves barely breaking even, and our fundraisers don’t come close to bringing in the funds needed for future growth. In order to take OCS to the next level, and in order to break this cycle, we need to take this seriously, that is why we need your help. Our kids are our future and we need to protect their faith. Your donation to our school is a means of sadaqah jariyah.
We have been able to do so much with our low tuition but imagine how much more we can do if we had the funds to meet our needs.
Whether you have visited us, or know someone who has gone through our doors, consider donating any amount to help us. If you are alumni, or past parent, family, or teacher, donate and share this message with others.
Message from our principal
“Our staff is committed to providing a quality education to all OCS students. We pride ourselves in offering a strong academic and religious program to all students regardless of their socio-economic background. A private Islamic School should not just be for the financially elite, but for all students who believe in our mission of excellence. OCS has been able to provide an affordable program that is WASC accredited because of the strong commitment by the community.”
– Ms. Maisa Youssef
