The Eden High School (EHS) in West London has an inspiring mission statement: "to provide a positive foundation for educational excellence within an Islamic environment for all children in conjunction with the national curriculum". The project was launched in July 2003 and it opened its doors for a small group of year 7 girls in September 2004 at the premises of al-Muntada al-Islami. Other classes were added for year 8, 9 and 10 in September 2005, 2006 and 2007 respectively. Today the school is located in Hammersmith.

EHS is a registered secondary school with the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) Registration No: 205/6382. Although registered as an extension of Al Muntada Primary school (Charity No. 293355), EHS is governed by and managed by a separate management structure and board of governors.

Eden High School is currently a girls' school, however it hopes to be able to find a site and sponsorship to service the Muslim boys in the future.

The School authorities have launched an SOS appeal and are urging the Muslim community to demonstrate support: "we urgently need your help to raise £50,000. This will help sustain the school and will give the opportunity for our future generations of Muslim children to benefit from studying, the national curriculum in conjunction with Islamic Education, in an Islamic environment at our school".
