Founded in 1912 by..yes you guessed it, the ALSAGOFFS, a rich Arab family, the school was named for Syed Ahmad Alsagoff, a wealthy Arab merchant and philanthropist who was very influential in Singapore's early colonial days and who died in 1906. It is the oldest girls' school in Singapore, and was the island's first Muslim school. Focusing on religious schooling combined with subjects taught in mainstream schools, it is not surprising to note that most of its graduates go on to become religious teachers and leaders of madrasahs.
