History
Plans for a Muslim school in the Johannesburg area were conceived during 1989.[3] The Johannesburg Muslim School had its humble beginnings in January 1990. From its premises on 10th Avenue, Mayfair, Johannesburg, the Johannesburg Muslim School (JMS) began with 115 learners. Tuition was first offered from Class 1 to Standard 2 (Grades 1 to 4). The Board of Management had resolved that the establishment of the school will take place in several stages. In 1991, tuition was extended to standard 3 (Grade 5) level and a pre-school with nursery classes was also introduced. The student enrolment increased to 189 in 1991. Tuition was subsequently offered at higher levels over the years that followed. As of 1997, the school offers classes from Nursery up to Matric (Grade 12) and the student enrollment in 2010 was 1200 students.
The school outgrew its premises on 10th Avenue, Mayfair, and in 1992 moved to the old Bree Street School complex in Fordsburg. This complex was completely revamped to provide students with better facilities. Again, as a result of natural growth, the premises at the Bree Street School complex became inadequate. JMS then leased the old Johannesburg Secondary School premises in Fordsburg from the Department of Public Works.
During the COVID pandemic in 2020, JMS ran a successful online school that ensured that learners did not miss a single day of school during the year. In January 2021, JMS moved to a new premises in Crosby with sprawling fields, over 40 classrooms, a capacity of 1200 learners and state of the art labs and facilities.
