Top Islamic Primary Schools in Lagos

Apart from teaching students academics, one other major function of the school is to teach the students morals. This is why most parents are after religious schools; Christian or Muslim owned. The belief is that students will be able to fight off negative peer pressure from smoking, dealing drugs, and all sorts of atrocities if they are brought up in the way of the Lord.

With this, we at SchoolsCompass have decided to create a list of Top Islamic Primary schools in Lagos.
