About Us

Who we are

 

Madawi Bilingual School and Quran Memorisation is a faith-based educational institution committed to nurturing future generations through a balanced integration of academic excellence, Qur’anic memorisation, and moral development.

Founded under the umbrella of the Society of Awareness and Social Reform (SASR), our school was established with a vision to raise confident, knowledgeable, and God-conscious individuals who can positively contribute to society.

Our Vision

 

 Madawi Bilingual Arabic/English School and Quranic Memorisation aims to be a leading provider of contemporary education and Qur’anic sciences of the highest standards, serving both citizens and residents of The Gambia. 

Our Mission

 

 To contribute to the preparation of generations of intellectuals—equipped with sound knowledge of both their religious and worldly affairs, capable of keeping pace with changing times, and committed to fulfilling their duties with sincerity. 

Our Learning Approach

 

At Madawi Bilingual School, we provide a comprehensive bilingual curriculum designed to develop fluency in both English and Arabic. Our balanced program equips students with strong language skills, critical thinking, and a deep appreciation for cultural heritage.

In addition to academic studies, we offer a dedicated Quranic Memorisation branch, which operates as a boarding program for young boys focused on memorising the Qur’an with proper Tajweed and understanding. This specialized branch emphasizes spiritual growth alongside discipline and character development.

Together, these programs reflect our commitment to nurturing well-rounded individuals who excel both intellectually and spiritually, prepared to lead with faith and knowledge.
