About Us

Our Brief History

Madrasah Al-Ma’arif Al-Islamiah was founded by Almarhum Kiyai Sheikh Muhammad Fadhlullah Suhaimi in 1936 and was situated at Tanjong Katong Road.

It was relocated at No. 14, Ipoh Lane in 1939 on a piece of wakaf land donated by Allahyarham Sheikh Omar Bamadhaj.

In 1987, Madrasah Al-Ma’arif Al-Islamiah was rebuilt to accommodate more students and since 2007, another relocation was made to a new building at No. 3 Lorong 39 Geylang, which is also a wakaf property.

Madrasah Al-Ma’arif Al-Islamiah is managed by a Management Committee appointed by its Trustees and approved by Ministry of Education and Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS). In terms of financing, the Madrasah depends on students’ fees, donations and zakat from the public.

Principal’s Message
Madrasah Al-Ma’arif Al-Islamiah

Assalamualaikum WR. WB.
I hope this message finds you and your family in good health and strong Imaan. We are delighted to welcome you to Madrasah Al-Ma’arif Al-Islamiah, where our mission is to nurture and develop our students into future Muslimah leaders who are intellectually progressive while firmly grounded in Islamic values.

Our goal is to equip them to contribute meaningfully to the Ummah and remain actively engaged in their communities. Every student is important to us at Al-Ma’arif, and we are committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment built on positive relationships. We recognize each student as an individual with unique talents, interests, strengths, and needs.

R.A.R.E.

we focus on instilling the values of Respect, Adaptability, Resilience, and Empathy (R.A.R.E.)

in all our students. We believe these foundations are essential for building our future and enhancing the quality of school life for the benefit of all learners. Over the past few years, our school has experienced remarkable growth, thriving for over 80 years thanks to the collective efforts of our dedicated teachers, committed students, and supportive parents.

Our curriculum and programs emphasize the holistic development of each Muslimah, encompassing knowledge acquisition, confidence-building, and the skills needed to adapt to the rapidly changing landscape of the 21st century.

We aim to create a stimulating and engaging curriculum that enables every student to achieve their personal best in all endeavors. We firmly believe that “every learner is unique and possesses inherent potential for learning.” As educators, it is our amanah to nurture and develop each child, preparing them for life and guiding them to achieve the best educational outcomes possible.
May our Ma’arifian continue to shine as the R.A.R.E. gems that they are!
