Our history
Founded in 2015 by our visionary mother and philanthropist, Hajiya Aisha Ahmed Jika — Gimbiyan Gurin, Sarauniyan Beka, Gakuwan Matan Adamawa.
Skafa Islamic School was born out of her deep love and passion to ensure that quality education is accessible to all, regardless of background.
From humble beginnings, the school has grown into a nurturing academic community offering Nursery, Primary, Secondary, and Adult Education, all within a faith-driven, learner-centered environment.
At Skafa, we believe that true success lies in educating both the mind and the soul. Our curriculum blends academic excellence with Islamic studies, Qur’anic memorization, Arabic language, and moral instruction. We prepare students not only to excel academically but to grow as God-conscious, responsible individuals, equipped to lead in their communities and the world.
Our dedicated educators work closely with families to support the unique learning journey of every child, fostering curiosity, discipline, critical thinking, and a strong Islamic identity.
Today, Skafa Islamic School proudly continues the legacy and vision of its founder—to raise well-rounded learners who thrive in both Dunya and Akhirah, guided by knowledge, faith, and purpose.
- Serving Our Local Community – Proudly educating hundreds of children and adults across Nursery to Secondary levels in Adamawa.
- Empowering Families – Welcoming parents, guardians, and learners into a warm, faith-centered school-family each day.
- Impact, One Learner at a Time – Committed to personalized growth—academically, spiritually, and socially—for every individual we serve.

Feedback from parents and educators consistently shows that our graduates are enthusiastic learners—academically prepared, spiritually grounded, and socially ready to excel in the next phase of their educational journey.
At Skafa Islamic School, we proudly offer instruction in English while embracing the richness of our local languages and Islamic heritage.
In addition to English, students across all classes engage in Arabic for Qur’anic and Islamic studies, as well as Hausa, our regional language. These language offerings are thoughtfully integrated into daily learning—ensuring students develop strong communication skills, deepen their Islamic identity, and stay connected to their cultural roots.
