Madrasah Al-Arabiah Al-Islamiah (MAI) is one of the three madrasahs under the Joint Madrasah System in Singapore. It is an Islamic-inspired academic school that is focused on nurturing students who excel academically, are grounded in Islamic values, and are connected to the community with a keen sense of service.

In 1981, the institution was established in response to the need for a structured and formal Islamic education for the young within our Muslim community. As one of the first few Islamic kindergarten to be set up almost 40 years ago, MK’s mission has always been to nurture our future khalifahs holistically, inculcating Islamic values at the very early age.

Started in 2010, the Muhammadiyah Scholarship programme aims to produce working professionals within the Malay Muslim community who are capable of mastering both Islamic and scientific fields of study.

An evaluation study conducted by MWH which showed that residents who had completed post-secondary education were less likely to re-offend.
