Sanad Prep Onsite & Online
“Sanad Prep Onsite & Online, our K-12 learning center, is built upon the fundamental principle that every child has the right to have their noble innate nature reach its full potential. The gateway to achieving this is through adab, knowledge, and love.” – Ustadh Rehan Mirza
Sanad Prep Onsite
Founded in 2010, Sanad Prep is the first on-the-ground blended learning model to use a learning coach approach and leverage the resources of a public school education. Our full-time program meets the personal, academic, and spiritual needs of K-12 students through a soul-centered approach to learning and teaches using an accredited curriculum with certified teacher and learning coach support online and on the ground in a safe and moral environment.
Our Model
Our holistic approach to learning is intended to ensure love, understanding, and practical application. In our onsite program, we work with public school options available to South Florida students and families. The Standard Sciences of Math, science, language arts, and history are learned using the same curriculum trusted and accredited in all Florida counties. In fact, your child will continue to be a registered public school student and receive certified teacher oversight and certified learning coach support online and on the ground. Sanad Prep provides your child with a safe moral environment, small group learning for each grade level, and personal attention from registration to graduation.
Because our students remain registered as public school students, their transcript grades are issued by the county and end-of-year testing is proctored offsite by the public school closest to their home. This ensures the integrity of our work, its high quality, and the academic rigor of a Sanad Prep Onsite/Online education. You can have the confidence knowing that your child is learning at par or beyond the standards of his/her public school peers and has the same or better opportunity to be accepted to any postsecondary program, college, or university.
Sanad Prep Onsite is also honored to facilitate the spiritual understanding and growth of your child. Students of all faiths are welcome, but it should be noted that our program is guided by the Islamic tradition as outlined by the scholars of the major schools of law, belief, and spirituality. For the Sacred Sciences, we emphasize the importance of adab (good character), an empathetic study of Prophetic life and character, and the study of those tasks every human is required to know and act upon. In addition, we teach the recitation, memorization, and appreciation of the Quran. The standard and sacred sciences are learned by truly understanding how they are lived by and applied in the real world.
(For families that do not wish to have their child participate in the sacred sciences, options are available. Please contact us for more information.)
Benefits of the Sanad Prep Learning Coach Approach
The Sanad Prep Learning Coach is unlike any teacher you will find. We believe in one-on-one attention and engagement. A personal relationship with each student is not optional, it is a right they have upon their teacher. As such, we see it as a responsibility and a sacred trust to cultivate mutual love and respect between teacher and student. Our learning coaches are in constant communication to ensure that there is no gap in our student/soul-centered approach to education. We will walk with your child and not lead from a distance ahead. Sanad Prep Learning Coaches are a part of your family’s team and will work with you to ensure your child develops intellectually and spiritually. We are honored by this partnership and truly believe that “a self-directed child is a wonder to behold.” *
Key Qualities:
- “A learning coach becomes a partner in the learning process, creating a relationship with your child much more conducive to cooperation, respect, and understanding.”
- “A coach should be the one who facilitates “learning”, which means to free from difficulties or obstacles; makes easier; aid; assist. By virtue of this definition, the learner moves front and center.”
- “Success, in its many forms, results not by pushing children into activities but by creating an environment that encourages exploration and discovery, and supporting their curiosity.”
Thriving at Sanad Prep
Sanad Prep flourishes with students who are:
- Intrinsically Motivated: A love of learning and a desire for personal growth are key! Our students are self-driven and excited to explore their faith and academics.
- Actively Supported at Home: Strong family support is vital for success in our model. Open communication and collaboration between parents and teachers is essential.
- Meeting or Exceeding Grade Level: Students who are on track or ahead will find Sanad Prep’s advanced curriculum appropriately challenging. High schoolers can even earn college credits through dual enrollment. This is ideal for intrinsically motivated learners who crave a stimulating environment.
- Respectful and Responsible: Our emphasis on adab (moral etiquette) fosters a positive learning environment. Students who thrive here appreciate clear guidance and strive to be well-mannered role models.
Finding the Right Fit
While Sanad Prep is a wonderful option for many, it’s important to consider if our unique model aligns with your child’s specific needs. Here are some areas where we may not be the ideal fit:
- Requiring Extensive Academic Intervention: Our program is designed for students who are generally on grade level. If your child requires significant academic support beyond the scope of our model, we recommend exploring alternative options.
- Diagnosed Learning Differences: Sanad Prep’s current structure may not be able to fully accommodate students with diagnosed learning disabilities/delays, behavioral disorders/challenges, or attention difficulties.
- Needing Individualized Behavior Support: If your child experiences ongoing behavioral struggles, a school environment with a higher level of behavioral intervention may be more appropriate.
Honesty and Guidance
At Sanad Prep, our love for our students compels us to be honest about what environment will best nurture their growth. Sometimes, the most loving thing we can do is acknowledge that our program may not be the perfect fit.
We Believe in Every Child
Sanad Prep strives to be an incredible school, but we recognize that no single approach works for everyone. We encourage you to carefully consider all aspects of your child’s needs before making a decision. Our sincere prayer is that every child finds the learning environment that guides them towards success in this life and the next.

Our Current Campus
As Sanad Trust Foundation actively works towards our capital development/property acquisition goal this year, we are excited about the extraordinary opportunity our students are going to have at their current Sanad Prep campus. We affectionately call it the Sanad Sanctuary — a newly renovated residential estate, nestled along a lake and within a Town of Davie designated bird sanctuary. Students have access to 15 acres of fields, exercise and walking trails, picnic shelters, and a lakeside dock. For their further comfort, there is a kitchen, boys’ and girls’ restrooms, and a view of Florida’s natural flora and fauna from every window in the home!
