“Maarif” Means Education
In essence, it is the process of self-actualization through self-recognition and respect for others. A key element of the process is for the learner to delight in the experience of learning.
IMS Guarantees Every Learner 3 A’s
Attention because every learner is special and in need of recognition so as to acquire confidence and a healthy self-image.
Affection because love and trust are the foundations of a meaningful bond between educator and learner.
Advancement because every learner is hungry for success. It is the duty of an educator to probe each learner’s potential and needs so as to create opportunities for achievement by every learner.
There is No Lockdown of Potential
