About Us
We live in the most dynamic and ever evolving generation of all time.
As such, a small team of experienced logistical and educational professionals have decided to embark on an endeavor to revolutionise digital schooling and educational accessibility in South Africa.
“A School Away From School”
The digital learning sector is a booming industry that has exploded within the last few years.
IAD aims to provide a bespoke, creative and personalised experience for all students, as well as to reach out and provide to those students who may not have access otherwise. We envision a One-Stop solution for all digital and Homeschooling needs.
Our Offering
Distance Learning Solutions
We aim to create a personalized, Islamized STEAM
Learning platform that will raise the bar in respect to the Quality of Digital Learning Content. We envision a holistically developed student who is prepared for this world and the Hereafter. We want to be efficient yet captivating to create a stimulating, interactive digital environment for our future generations.
Accessible Digital Education
Digital learning is a crucial tool in the 21st
century, particularly in the aftermath of the
COVID-19 pandemic. As such, we need to
prepare our children with the necessary skills to excel in the 21st- century workplace. Our goal is to leverage its accessibility to revamp the availability of education and offer it to children who may not have had access otherwise.
Encapsulating Complete Development
We aspire to produce graduates who are developed in all their core aspects. Intellectual Development is often over-emphasized whilst the Emotional development of a child can be neglected. To offset this, we intend to offer remedial therapy at no extra cost. Through our highly experienced and devoted team of teachers and counselors,we will produce self- driven, determined, and confident Leaders of Tomorrow.
Our Vision
We envision a future where every student in South Africa has access to a
comprehensive Islamised form of education that focuses on Science, Technology,
Engineering , Art and Mathematics (STEAM), simultaneously promoting physical
health, mental wellness, spiritual and ethical values, preparing learners for the here
and now with 21st Century skills and strengthening their Imaan for the the Hereafter.
Our Mission
To empower South African learners with holistic and Islamised education that
nurtures both mind and body, fostering academic excellence, personal growth,
emotional, spiritual and overall well-being. Our pivotal point of all our deliberations
will be the Holy Quran and the practical lessons gleaned from the life of our Beloved
Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
Bring Taqwa into the Classroom
Keeping with the theme of an Islamised One-stop solution, we have a team ready to provide lessons and interactive sessions in allaspects of Deen both on a theoretical and practical level. An intensive and trustworthy Islamiyaat syllabus compiled by our Respected Ulama’ helps to reinforce spiritual growth and Taqwa.
