Does my child’s school educate as well as orient them to a Creator and Prophetic character?
This week Sanad Trust Foundation will be launching an enrollment campaign for Sanad Prep. I have two requests. First, for those in South Florida, if you have school-aged children, consider Sanad Prep as an option for your children. There may be narratives out there that we are virtual, online, or in a bubble, etc. That’s simply not true. We are in fact an innovative blended model that takes the best parts of other pedagogies and brings them together in a morally and spiritually sound environment.
Our curriculum is accredited and overseen by certified teachers and county administrators whom we work directly with. Learning takes place on the ground with the guidance of qualified and trained learning coaches, personal interactions, and companionship between adults, students, and peers. It also takes place during the sacred spaces in between…morning assembly, duha prayers, and afternoon prayers, discussion during classes, and even play. It’s a robust endeavor that has been happening for over a decade now. Our student body is diverse, our learning approach is advanced, and our results are outstanding.
Every child is unique and every learning model should be evaluated accordingly. The strength of our model is that it is an empathetic and adaptive learning model. We may not be best suited for every child or family, however, the children that have come through our center, that we currently serve, and those who have now graduated from Sanad Prep have been offered Prophetic light every day, guided to high academic achievement, and been motivated to have noble and aspirational goals.
Sanad Prep is a center for advanced learners that have the potential to navigate the pathways of Spiritual, Emotional, Academic, and Social learning (the SEAS). Our methods are not just developmental but proven and effective based on a decade long track record.
We are inspired by scholars who began teaching a few students in their home and are now affecting the world. And we are inspired by our children who have a right to learning environments that preserve their souls, inspire their intellect, and develop good character.
The application period is open. Applying does not guarantee admission. The Sanad Prep admissions process takes into consideration many factors mentioned above and we try to be honest about which students and families would benefit most from our model.
A good place to start the consideration process is to discuss these questions with your family:
- How important is it to integrate my child’s spiritual well-being and character in the learning environment they are in for 7-8 hrs every day for 180 days? And where can that best be done?
- How do I define success for my child and myself in this life and the next? If different, are they being prepared for both?
- Do the adults that assist my child and the organizational environment orient them to a Creator and reflect Prophetic character?
- What is the quality of the curriculum and delivery? Does it prepare students to be self-directed learners, to be adaptive to new learning modes, and enable them to learn in a nurturing environment?
- Is the leadership of my child’s school comfortable and willing to help me answer these questions?
My second request is to share our enrollment campaign with others who may have school-aged children. I am also asking that you share our organizations’ work with philanthropists, business leaders, and innovators that want to be part of developing and establishing a network of community education centers that meet the current and future needs of soul-centered children, families, and elders. We are motivated to learn and present our philosophy, model, and vision with anyone who is interested and inspired to join the effort to build something great insha’Allah.
