Zarban Academy is selective — not because we wish to exclude, but because we take seriously our responsibility to the students we admit.
Who Zarban Is For
Zarban Academy is for the Muslim family that refuses to compromise on either deen or dunya. For the parent who wants their child to achieve academically at the highest standard — and to be formed as a person of sound Islamic character, in the same institution, at the same time.
We are designed for students from Nursery through to Senior Secondary School. We are located in Bauchi and currently operate as a day school only — we draw families from across Bauchi town and the surrounding areas. Boarding is not offered at this stage.
Our Admissions Philosophy
We do not admit students on academic results alone. We are looking for families as much as students — families who understand the school's philosophy, who will support the school's standards at home, and who are enrolling because they believe in what we are building here, not only because of where we are located.
An enrolled family at Zarban is a partner in the formation of their child. We ask, respectfully, that parents engage with that responsibility seriously.
A deliberate introduction
Enquiry
Contact us via the website, phone, or WhatsApp. Our Administrative Officer will respond within 24 hours, and you will receive an information pack with everything you need to begin.
Application
Complete the Zarban Academy application form, available online and in print. Supporting documents required: birth certificate, previous school records (for Primary and above), and a parent declaration acknowledging the school's values and expectations.
Conversation
A brief, informal conversation between the Admissions team and the parent (and student, for Secondary applicants), held in person, by phone, or online. This is not an examination. It is an opportunity for us to understand you and for you to understand us.
Admission Decision
Families receive an admission decision within five working days of the conversation. Successful applicants receive an offer letter and a fee payment schedule.
Enrolment
Enrolment is confirmed upon payment of the first term's fees. Students then receive their uniform package, welcome information, and Day 1 instructions.
Fee Structure & Scholarships
Zarban Academy is positioned in the Upper-Moderate tier of the Bauchi private school market — premium in quality, accessible in fees. Our fee structure reflects the quality of teaching, the depth of the Islamic programme, and the institutional standards we maintain.
