Stage Three: Rise & Grow
(Ages 14-21)
❊
Identity, Responsibility & Intentional Living
About This Stage
Adolescence is a turning point — a season of soul-searching, independence, and deep questioning. In this stage, we rise to meet our youth with sincerity, relevance, and guidance. They don’t just need content — they need context. They don’t just need teachers — they need mentors.
Rise & Grow is designed to walk alongside teens as they seek to understand who they are, what they believe, and where they are going. It integrates academic skills, real-life application, emotional intelligence, and spiritual self-awareness — all rooted in a strong Islamic framework.
This program does not rush teens into adulthood, but equips them to transition thoughtfully — with confidence, skills, and character. We prepare them not just for grades or college, but for the decisions and distractions of life.
