Al Eslah School Museum
Mission of the Museum
The mission of the Al Eslah School Museum, the first formal school in the Emirate of Sharjah, is to enable the generations of the past and of the present to meet and to maintain Emirati customs and traditions regarding the Arabic language, religion and Islamic education.
About the Museum
The first formal educational institute in Sharjah was founded in this building in 1938, and in recognition of this fact, the school has been preserved as a museum.
Experience school life as it was some 70 years ago while sitting at the wooden desks in the shaded classrooms and imagine attending an Islamic school. See images of the people that brought education to life and visit the Headmaster’s Room to admire the Holy Qur’an stands made from palm wood. The school welcomed pupils from all over the Gulf region. During term time the overseas students would spend their nights in the upstairs dormitory.
