Addressing Stereotyping,
Inequity & Exclusivity in Education
The school is founded by Mamu Alhaji Muhammad, with Muhammad Muhseen Mamu as the first student. The founder is concerned about exclusion and stereotyping in schools as a result of the proliferation of faith-based schools in Nigeria, where educational pursuits are designed with a particular religion in mind. On the other hand, we are also mindful of the fact that Nigeria is a very religious society and parents place high value on the spiritual needs of their children.
Our school is therefore established to create a nexus between addressing exclusivity and stereotyping on one hand and meeting up with the spiritual needs of children on the other. It is against this backdrop that our system is designed to be completely secular during normal school hours while it is affiliated to Islamiyyah and Bible schools, systematically structured to run as an after-school program.
During normal school hours, the secular system is triangulated on the Nigerian curriculum, British curriculum and STEM education. This broad-spectrum curriculum provides a mixed blend of Nigerian and British content that ensures quality learning experience and prepares students for both Cambridge and Nigerian external examinations. The STEM curriculum exposes students to a world of robotics, AI, coding and more — preparing them for the reality of digital disruption and rapidly changing skills requirements.
The after-school Islamiyyah program is run as a separate school system, structured to take children from nursery to secondary Islamic education — covering Arabic language, Qur'an memorization, and Islamic jurisprudence. The Bible school is equally structured to meet the learning needs of different ages, with emphasis on Bible study, music, motivational speaking and French language.
Through a deliberate policy of gender-responsive pedagogy, we ensure gender equality across classrooms, teaching resources, language, and employment. Our students — from different religious, cultural, gender and regional backgrounds — come together within a secular system to learn, tinker, collaborate and innovate, while their individual needs are taken care of by the after-school program. All this, happening under one roof.
