Learning should never be an isolated endeavor. We firmly believe that the most meaningful learning experiences occur when we actively engage young people in designing and leading impactful real-world projects.
We strive to break down the barriers of traditional classrooms by constructing purposeful bridges that propel empowered and innovative learning experiences.
Programs
Why should our children have to wait until they “grow up” to pursue their passions and make a positive difference in their communities?
With our programs, children don’t need to wait. They are empowered to create and lead positive change now.
All our programs are rooted in the cutting-edge science of learning, ensuring that we employ the most effective strategies to achieve the most impactful outcomes. We stay at the forefront of educational research, incorporating evidence-based practices that have been proven to enhance learning and maximize results.
- Learner-driven, highly-engaging and collaborative. We rely on evidence-informed strategies to help young people develop a love for learning and discovery.
- Authentic learning that matters. We engage young people in real world problems by beginning to ask community partners, “What problem can we solve for you?”
- Developing the whole-child. Our KHULAFA competencies are integrated in our learning design and aim to develop learners for success beyond academics.
