Madrasah Irsyad Zuhri Al-Islamiah
Madrasah Irsyad Zuhri Al-Islamiah is a full-time co-educational madrasah offering primary education in Singapore. Madrasah is an Arabic word that means "school" but in the present context a madrasah means an Islamic religious school. "Irsyad" means rightly guided in Arabic. Like the five other full-time madrasahs in Singapore (Aljunied Al-Islamiah, Alsagoff Al-Arabiah, Al-Arabiah Al-Islamiah, Al-Maarif Al-Islamiah and Madrasah Wak Tanjong Al-Islamiah), Irsyad is a private school which offers students an education comprising both ukhrawi (Islamic religious) subjects such as Arabic and Revelation studies, as well as duniawi (secular) subjects like English, Mathematics and Science. Irsyad's students take both secular and ukhrawi national exams. Many of its graduates move on to further their studies in Islamic Universities overseas and return to become asatizahs (religious teachers), while others attend the local polytechnics and universities. The school celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2007 and is operating at its permanent campus at the Singapore Islamic Hub.
