GIFTS is an English and Arabic speaking school in Omole Phase 1, Lagos, for Creche, Preparatory, Nursery, Kindergarten and Primary. Our four-year accelerated Primary programme covers the full six-year NERDC curriculum, while every child follows a structured Qur'an memorisation programme.
Every school day is divided into ten periods: five dedicated to Qur'an and Islamic education, five to mainstream academic education. Neither is treated as secondary to the other.
Structured, sequenced Qur'an memorisation from the shortest Surahs, alongside Tajweed, Arabiyyah, Aqeedah, Fiqh, Adab and Adhkar — taught daily with the same rigour as any academic subject.
The complete six-year NERDC primary curriculum, professionally compressed into four years without cutting corners, delivered with interactive smart boards and printed pupils' notes.
Neither curriculum is an extra, an afterthought or a favour. Both are taught by qualified teachers, assessed continuously and recorded in the same reporting to families.
GIFTS was founded on the idea that early childhood and primary education can be rigorous, joyful and deeply rooted in faith, all at once. Great emphasis is placed on academic excellence, and equally great emphasis is placed on Qur'an memorisation from the Primary years. Neither is treated as secondary to the other.
Every school day is divided into five periods of Qur'an and Islamic education and five periods of mainstream academic education. Families are treated as partners, with a daily Qur'an Diary, regular reporting and PTA meetings keeping everyone aligned.

Prep and Nursery 1 begin with the final ten Surahs; Nursery 2 and Kindergarten extend the chain further.
