About Us
The Sheikh Yahyah Academy
Sheikh Yahyah Academy is a faith-based and academically driven Islamic school in Kaduna, Nigeria, established as a Waqf by Alhaji Suleiman Yahyah in honor of his father, Sheikh Yahyah Ismail — a devoted teacher and educationist. The Academy bridges the gap between Islamic learning and modern academics, nurturing students who are spiritually grounded, intellectually vibrant, and equipped for global excellence.
Born as a legacy project inspired by a lifetime of teaching and service, the Academy rests on the belief that true education unites faith, intellect, and purpose. Every learning experience at Sheikh Yahyah Academy is designed to cultivate leaders who contribute positively to their communities while upholding Islamic values and embracing global competence.
Every number represents a step toward our vision — to nurture faith, knowledge, and innovation across generations.
