A Letter from the Founder

For the past 10 years, Sanad Trust Foundation has built a student-centered — and what we often call a heart or soul-centered — learning environment around an accredited K12 curriculum in a service we call Sanad Prep Learning Center.

We provide expert learning coach services to students and families that positively nurture the social, emotional, and spiritual well-being of a child and excel in academic expectations and standards. The learning experience at Sanad Prep is delivered on-the-ground and online through a compassionate, adaptive, and personalized relationship with our Learning Coaches.

Thus, we offer a true blended learning environment at Sanad Prep. The best of both worlds for all stakeholders. For families we function in many ways like a traditional school. For county/district partners we are informed, competent, and capable learning coach partners. For students, we are the ideal balance between an innovative learning experience and homely learning environment. 

Our Plans for the Fall

Many have asked about our plans for this coming academic year. Last March we chose not to renew Sanad Trust Foundation’s lease at its Miramar Location. Alhamdulillah, this was great timing for our contract to end as we, like so many organizations, shifted to a remote format for all services during the COVID-19 pandemic. Believe it or not, Sanad Prep Learning Center thrived during this time in many ways due to the unique model we are built upon. All students passed FSA in upper percentiles and graduated their respective grades with a 3.0 or higher GPA; both measures are independently assessed and documented by the public school district.  This has been true since year 1 on Sanad Prep. We have maintained a 3.0 or higher GPA since inception for all grades K-12 for 10 years! There is no other schooling option that can make this claim in South Florida . 

We have completed our first 10 years with ihsan (excellence) and for the next 10, we have even higher hopes. Now, the Foundation and Sanad Prep must spread its wings even more and soar to even greater heights. This next phase of our journey begins with property acquisition for the Foundation — a home for the hearts we serve. 

For this reason we have not committed to a leased space this Fall. We are working hard to have conversations with philanthropists, property owners, and our stakeholders to see how and when we can purchase a property. If needed, we are prepared to start the Fall semester online as we did last year and plan to be on-the-ground (either in a leased or owned property) by January 1, 2022 insha’Allah. Having said that, our learning experience for students will remain robust, complete, and innovative. This will include regular (weekly) on-the-ground meetups, learning pod field trips, and comprehensive student support as we transition to a new space in the winter insha’Allah. The opportunity to continue to create new and innovative learning experiences for students, families, and the community excites me. I know our team too, is unparalleled in developing the best academic institution in South Florida. In fact, qualitatively and now quantifiably I believe this is true; it is why my own kids are in the Sanad Prep and thriving masha’Allah alongside so many other children. 

Sanad Prep applications for the Fall are currently open on a very limited basis. We have created a special place in Sanad Prep, and are confident that there is no better place in South Florida or the Country for your child’s heart, mind, and soul. 

To conclude, as you can imagine, finding a permanent home for the Foundation is a big endeavor and we are asking for your trust, patience, and support. Properties range anywhere from 1M to 5M and are throughout South Florida, from Weston to Miramar. We have always worked hard, intelligently, and ethically and have always put our trust in Allah since day 1, we are not willing to stop now on day 3,650. 

We appreciate that you have been by our side for so many years and, as such, we wanted to share our hopes, dreams, and plans. Your contributions to this dream are always welcome. Sanad Trust Foundation is an organization that establishes adab, love, and knowledge in our children, families, and community…now, it must be given a home of its own next to ours.
