Why

iBacc is designed to help individual learners, parents, teachers and schools integrate the four essential practices of a spiritually sustainable school based on Islamic values

and in turn such spiritually sustainable schools and learning communities providing quality education to help meet the UN Sustainable Development Goals

What

Individual students, parents, teachers and schools work in four archetypal practices — Leadership, Scholarship, Craftsmanship and Citizenship. Learners take these on as Quests; schools deliver them as Programmes
