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.
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.
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.
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.

This specialized branch emphasizes spiritual growth alongside discipline and character development.
