No refs on the page for many years, it's a private high school. It does not seem to have much notability and I don't see even many mentions in RS JMWt (talk) 12:16, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

 * I found two fairly longform articles in The Arizona Republic from 1999 and 2001, but little else. This is a rare AZ school article that I did not really touch. Sammi Brie  (she/her • t • c) 21:26, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Notability (organizations and companies) says: "All universities, colleges and schools, including high schools, middle schools, primary (elementary) schools, and schools that only provide a support to mainstream education must either satisfy the notability guidelines for organizations, the general notability guideline, or both. For-profit educational organizations and institutions are considered commercial organizations and must satisfy those criteria." Sources   The article notes: "Arizona Cultural Academy is a private Islamic school near Baseline Road and 42nd Street in Phoenix. The school, one of only three Islamic schools in the state, has about 250 students and educates them on Islamic culture, in addition to traditional school classes. ... ACA is a nonprofit, federal tax-exempt corporation, created in 1996 to further Islamic education. Several years of research went into the location of the Phoenix school before groundbreaking took place on Sept. 1, 2000. The school opened the following year on Aug. 20, 2001, for students in Montessori through eighth grade. Jane Smuts become principal last month. Smuts, a South African immigrant to the United States, is not Muslim."   Less significant coverage: <li> THe book notes: "Likewise, Arizona Cultural Academy (ACA) caters to mostly middle-class immigrants, with scholarships for those of lesser means. This K–12 Islamic school offers a Montessori program, PTA, sports teams for boys and girls, and a students' blog with opinion sections and a style corner for the fashion-conscious Muslim girl, hijabi or not."</li> </ol></li> </ol>There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Arizona Cultural Academy to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
