Our Story
Rooted in tradition, built for today
Islamic education in Ghana's Zongo communities has long been carried by the Makaranta — traditional schools run by Mallams. Darussalam Islamic School was established in Zabarma Line, Dansoman in 2023 and inaugurated in January 2024, with an 18-unit classroom block spanning Nursery through JHS 3 — answering a growing need for a modern academic institution that still holds firmly to Islamic moral and ethical discipline.
Today the school actively serves children from Shukura, Russra, Banana Inn, Dansoman, Kaneshie Zongo and Chorkor — giving underserved inner-city Zongo communities access to a balanced, faith-rooted education.
Our Vision
To build and maintain a learning community that produces leaders through faith, knowledge, and inspiration.
Our Mission
To develop an enriched learning community that promotes academic achievement, leadership, and Islam.
