You are not choosing a school. You are choosing who your child is permitted to become.
Every fact in this edition is real. Every milestone has already happened. What follows is not a promise of what Sultan Hanafi might one day offer — it is an account, told with the reverence it deserves, of the leaders, scholars, and Huffaz this institution has already begun forming.
“Most of us parents have confirmed that the values and morals the school instils in our children are worth far more than the fees we pay.”
Dr Ismail Akeem Seriki · Parent, Three Children Enrolled
We do not see a child arriving at Sultan Hanafi as a blank page. We see a future scholar, a future leader, a future Hafiz — someone already carrying the raw material of who they are called to become, waiting for the right formation to draw it out.
That is the conviction behind every decision this institution makes: from the teachers we recruit, to the framework we mentor by, to the standard we hold every child to, regardless of where they started.
“Together, let us embark on a journey where every child discovers not only what they know, but who they are called to become.”
Zakariya Olanrewaju Anofi · Founder & Head of Schools/Administrator
Guided by the CLEVER framework — Creativity, Leadership, Engagement, Versatility, Ethics, Reliability — every student at Sultan Hanafi is mentored toward leadership long before any title is given.
“The ALA Endowment Prize is awarded to the top three academic performers in each class every term.”
Established 2024 by Mr Lukman Anofi, Board Member
A full-immersion 24–36 month programme for students aged nine to sixteen — complete memorisation of the Noble Qur’an, mastery of Tajwid, and the Sciences of the Qur’an, culminating in a certified Ijazah.
Running alongside every other stage of a student's journey, School of Islamic and Arabic Studies builds authentic Islamic learning and structured Arabic language acquisition — open to students beyond the Qur’an College's weekday track, through both weekday and weekend programmes.
Every year, Qur’an College students take part in a Ramadan Qur’an Competition at the Royal College Auditorium, a tradition established in 2024 — the annual moment this scholarship is put on public display.
“Allah will raise those who have believed among you and those who were given knowledge, by degrees.”
Surah Al-Mujadilah · 58:11
By 2026, the Royal College had achieved Ministry Registration with the Lagos State Ministry of Education and seen its first cohort sit the Basic Education Certificate Examination — a milestone every student in that cohort now carries with them.
“Sultan Hanafi Royal Schools stands as a blueprint for how education can be a vehicle for transformative social change within marginalised communities.”
Punch Newspaper · November 2025In 2025, Sultan Hanafi Royal Schools was commissioned by Engr. Seyi Makinde, Executive Governor of Oyo State — a distinguished endorsement of an institution rooted equally in Qur’anic scholarship and secular excellence.
“One thing I look out for in schools is the calibre of teachers they have. Most private schools don't employ quality teachers — but at SULTAN, in most of their recruitments they look for experienced educators with PhD, M.Sc., PGDE, or B.Sc. Education qualifications.”
Mr Waliy Ojewumi · Engineer · Parent Since 2018“Since joining SULTAN, the improvement in my children's academic performance and character has been remarkable.”
Dr Ismail Akeem Seriki · Parent, Three Children EnrolledFrom age two, the foundation of faith and academic discipline, laid before a child ever sits a formal exam.
Seven academic departments, JSS 1–3 and SSS 1–3, for students aged ten and above.
A parallel track for full Hifz immersion, open to students aged nine to sixteen.
Weekday and weekend programmes running alongside every other stage of the journey.
Newly established in 2026 — a fifth institution just taking shape, with headship not yet appointed and no students or curriculum yet.
“Open to Muslims and non-Muslims, males and females” — a welcome stated plainly, not a marketing gesture.
Fifteen, Imowonla Road, Off Gberigbe–Agura Road, Ikorodu, Lagos State — a dedicated prayer hall, science and technology laboratories, an ICT & Computer Laboratory, and residential boarding for Royal College and Qur’an College students, all built around the same rhythm of prayer and disciplined study.
Spelling competitions, recreation periods, and hands-on technology workshops give students room to compete, build, and simply be children — the ordinary joy that makes formation feel less like instruction and more like belonging.
Inter-class spelling competitions turn vocabulary into a spectator sport; Basic Technology Workshops give younger students hands-on building and problem-solving, part of the practical curriculum long before it becomes an exam subject.
A Sultan Hanafi Ijazah is a certified, permanently recorded credential — verifiable years after graduation, wherever a student's path leads next. BECE, WAEC, and NECO examinations mark the culmination of the Royal College years; for Qur’an College students, the Ijazah marks a different but equally permanent achievement.
What a student carries out of Sultan Hanafi is not only a certificate. It is a character formed under a standard — the one this entire edition has attempted to make visible.
The Royal College hall and the campus prayer hall — the two rooms where every SHRS student's formation is completed.
