Although Zahira College is generally considered a Muslim School, admission has always been open to children of all denominations. Over the years, Zahira has produced a large number of non-Muslim students who have reached the highest echelons in the professional and academic world. The Board of Governors of the College has consistently adopted an open policy for all communities, and as required by Islam respects all religions and all human beings as equals. With more than fifty percent of the teaching staff being non-Muslims there is excellent input from all communities in the co-ordinated efforts of Zahira.
