The Educational Gap in The Gambia

The Problem

Many parents in The Gambia struggle to find institutions that combine:

  • Quality academic education with strong Islamic values
  • Reliable daycare and extended care for working parents
  • Holistic development focusing on character and life skills
  • Safe, nurturing environments for children's growth
  • Continuity from early childhood through secondary education

This gap leaves families choosing between academic excellence and moral development, often sacrificing one for the other.

Our Solution

Ummu Al-ameen Academy offers a comprehensive educational model:

  • Continuum of services from daycare to high school under one trusted institution
  • Integration of Cambridge curriculum with Islamic teachings and values
  • Extended care options (evening and weekend) for working parents
  • Focus on holistic development: academic, spiritual, physical, and social
  • Modern facilities with safe, stimulating learning environments

We provide the complete educational solution Gambian families deserve.
