THE PURPOSE
Learning That Goes Beyond the Classroom.
Growing up is about more than gaining knowledge. It is also a journey of understanding one's values, developing character and learning how to navigate the world.
Ignite the Leader brings Islamic learning and personal development together through a character-development course grounded in the Prophetic Model.
Its purpose is to provide young people with an engaging environment in which faith, learning and personal growth come together.
IGNITE THE LEADER PILLARS
Prophetic Guidance
Exploring guidance from the Prophetic Model as a foundation for reflection, values and character development.
Qur'anic Literacy
Supporting young people's engagement with the Qur'an through the literacy component of the programme.
Islamic Studies

OUR APPROACH
Faith. Understanding. Character.
Knowledge shapes understanding. Character shapes how we use it.
FIFSA's approach brings religious learning and character development into one learning experience.
Rather than presenting Ignite the Leader simply as a list of subjects, this section should explain the thinking behind the programme: helping young people engage with Islamic learning while developing themselves along the way.
The Prophetic Model provides the foundation for the course, with personal development forming an important part of the journey.
