"A parent gives his child nothing better than a good education..” ~ Prophet Muhammad (SAWW).
Established in the year 2002, today, SAFA is regarded as one of the Best Schools in South Mumbai.
Here students learn skills of this World in a secure Islamic environment.
Our curriculum is enriched by ‘The Sunnah’ laid down by our Holy Prophet (SAWW).
We are a private & unaided educational institution recognized by the Education Department of the Government of Maharashtra.
Our relentless efforts are dedicated to providing quality Education.
With over 1700 students, 150+ faculty members & 600+ alumni members, Alhamdulillah, SAFA is creating a fine example of a new & better Educational System.
To meet the demands of a rapidly-changing world, SAFA is built to provide your child with an excellent foundation in learning.
Our teachings go beyond the basic curriculum that enables our students to flourish mentally & spiritually.
We believe that Deeniyat and Quranic Taleem are the strongest pillars of Education that cultivate a ceaseless love for Islam in young minds.
Children are capable of remarkable achievements and the Right Guidance can help them become highly successful Global citizens & true Momins. Thus, our students are exposed to a refined curriculum that trains them to develop their unique identities in this mundane world.

They say- Well begun is half done. SAFA has been regarded as a pioneering institute of its kind and is considered as a model for many schools in the country.
I take pride in the growing strength of our school. We are at a total capacity of 1700 bright students. Not only that, SAFA has bred 84 Hafiz-e-Quraan’ over the years. By the grace of Almighty Allah (SWT), we have been quite
successful in achieving excellent board exam results consistently.
The School Management has always taken a keen interest in providing quality infrastructure along with an attractive campus with personal attention to each student in the classes, excellent resources, and trained faculty.
We are indeed grateful to the parents for placing their unwavering faith in us and entrusting their children onto SAFA to mould them into worthy citizens of society.
May Allah guide our students to be humble and achieve the bounties of this world and the hereafter through learning under the wings of our noble teachers.”
When Mr. Kazmi joined us in 2009, SAFA was 700 students strong.
He agreed to take up the bold challenge of amplifying SAFA on all fronts. Thanks to his vast experience, dedication, & persistent efforts, today SAFA trains more than 1700 students.
