Madrasah Al-Ma’arif Timeline

Our Story in Brief

Founded in 1936, Madrasah Al-Ma’arif began as a community initiative to provide religious and academic education to girls and boys. Over the decades, the madrasah evolved into a dedicated girls’ institution, strengthened its curriculum with national benchmarks, and expanded its facilities to serve more students and programmes. The school’s growth has always been powered by community trust, dedicated educators, and alumnae who continue to lead with faith and integrity.
