One School. Two Complete Educations. Zero Compromise.
Most schools in Tamale force you to choose between a strong academic education and proper Islamic upbringing for your child. Darul Hedaya Islamic School delivers both, every day, under one roof.
Sending Your Child to Two Different Schools Every Day Is Exhausting. There Is a Better Way.
As a Muslim parent in Tamale, you want your child to grow up strong in their faith and strong in the classroom.
But right now, you are splitting your child between a morning secular school and an evening Makaranta. Your child is tired. The fees are double. The schedules conflict.
“You should not have to choose between your child’s education and their faith. At DHIS, you never have to.”
Darul Hedaya Islamic School was founded in 2022 specifically to close this gap. One school. Full GES curriculum. Complete Islamic education. Every day.
The Old Way vs The DHIS Way
- ✕Two schools. Double the fees. Double the commute every day.
- ✕Child arrives at Makaranta already exhausted from morning school.
- ✕Academic subjects and Islamic education never connect or reinforce each other.
- ✕No certainty either institution is delivering the standard you are paying for.
The DHIS Solution
- ✓Full GES curriculum from Nursery 1 through JHS 3.
- ✓Daily Tajweed, Hifz, Arabic, Salah. Structured. Tracked. Every day.
- ✓One school, one set of fees, one transport route.
- ✓Qualified, vetted educators for both academic and Islamic tracks.
Why Parents Across Tamale Are Choosing DHIS for Their Children
Three foundational pillars that make Darul Hedaya different from every other school in Northern Ghana.
Deen-Centred Foundation
Daily congregational prayers in the on-campus prayer hall. Tajweed articulation classes. Systematic Hifz progress tracking from early childhood. Islamic education is not one period a week here. It is the heartbeat of every school day.
Rigorous GES Curriculum
Uncompromised excellence in Mathematics, English Language, Integrated Science, Social Studies, and STEM. Your child will sit the same national assessments as every other school in Ghana and will be fully prepared to compete at the highest level.
Character, Discipline & Identity
Anchored in the motto “Truth, Honesty and Discipline”, the school weaves Dagbani literacy and local cultural values into daily learning. Your child grows up knowing who they are, where they come from, and what they stand for.
