It is with much delight and pleasure that I welcome you to Great Heights Academy, “A New Dawn in Education”. New Dawn, because years ago, it was extremely difficult to give children conventional education without dropping some or all parts of faith and servitude to Allah which is the only reason for which we have been created.
The major problem emanating from secularised education overshadows the more balanced Islamic Education. Hence, the need for establishing a school of high academic standards where especially, Muslim children would receive the best education without compromising religious values.
By the mercy of Allah, Muslims have obeyed the wake-up call, that you can have both Western and Islamic education under one roof by establishing such schools. Great Heights Academy is one such school but with a significant difference. We started with 15 pupils in the Nursery and Primary section in 2001.
Its remarkable success, encouragement and support from the Muslim Community together with the need for continuity necessitated the establishment of the Secondary section in 2002. Great Heights Academy (Girls Secondary School) provides qualitative Education that gives young girls a sound foundation for life in this world and the hereafter.
Our school rules and ethics of Islam are set to counterbalance negative social and environmental factors and influences producing spiritually guided individuals who can compete intellectually anywhere in the world. As a strict boarding school, we are able to inculcate moral values preparing them to be great ambassadors of Islam.
Indeed, the late Chairman, Alhaji Abdullahi has left a legacy that will in sha Allah build a solid foundation for the next generation of Muslims who will pass through this highly respected school.
May Allah accept it as Sadaqatul Jariya from him. May Allah give us the wisdom and strength to uphold this legacy. Amin.
