Madrasah Aljunied Al-Islamiah Singapore

What Madrasah Aljunied Al-Islamiah Singapore does

Madrasah Aljunied Al-Islamiah Singapore is a non-profit Islamic educational institution founded in 1927 by Syed Abdul Rahman Aljunied, operating from a single campus at 30 Victoria Lane, Singapore, under the oversight of MUIS (Islamic Religious Council of Singapore) and registered under the Singapore Education Act. The institution delivers integrated Islamic and secular education across a 6-year arc — Secondary 1 through Pre-University — through three programs: the Azhar 2.0 Programme (GCE O-Level), the Azhar 2.0 Pre-IBDP, and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), with the first IB cohort graduating in 2020. The institution's student body is drawn exclusively from Singapore Citizens and Singapore Permanent Residents transferring from local madrasahs.

The business model blends tuition and recurring fee revenue (school books, uniforms, CCA fees, one-time $100 registration) with community-sourced funding: Zakat Harta donations, Friday Mosque Collections, and general donations routed through partnerships with MUIS and the JIWA parent support group. Pricing on mandatory items is modest (books $400-$500/yr; uniforms $100-$200/yr). Distribution is direct-admission only — no third-party channels. Curriculum differentiators include Al-Azhar University accreditation (since 1969), a unique integrated Azhar 2.0 curriculum, and broader Co-Curricular Activity offerings (7 sports, 8 clubs). The school became co-educational in 1974 and operates a single site with no geographic expansion signal.

Technology integration centers on an Apple Distinguished School (2025-2028) designation: a 1:1 iPad program for students, 1:1 MacBook access for all staff and teachers, and Apple TVs in every learning space, framed under Apple's Inspire, Imagine, Impact framework. The school has no proprietary app, no API surface, and no disclosed AI capabilities; its digital stack is conventional consumer Apple Education tooling deployed for blended Islamic and secular pedagogy rather than as a monetizable platform. Governance rests with a School Management Committee under MUIS, with current principal Herman Cher Ma'in scheduled to be succeeded by deputy Afif Pasuni. The institution is not listed and accepts no external equity funding.
