Meet the Staff: Latifa. I’m an educator, curriculum developer, and homeschooling mother. I’ve been teaching for thirty years, and my experience spans teaching, training, and educational leadership. I hold a B.A. in Mathematics and an M.A. in Education. What drives me is simple. I want to cultivate confident educators, connected families, and lifelong learners rooted in God-consciousness.
My path into teaching started early. In eighth grade, I volunteered to tutor younger students in math. I found myself drawn to those small, electric moments when a concept finally clicked for a child. The love for that “aha spark” stayed with me for years. In college, after deciding electrical engineering wasn’t for me, I turned toward education instead. I never looked back.
What I love about ICS you ask? The children and the small tight-knit community. I appreciate how closely home and school work together to keep the ICS running well. We stand apart for one reason. Everyone here is striving toward the same goal: providing a high-quality education for the sake of Allah.
Although, I’m not a classroom teacher myself, my hope for ICS students reaches beyond any single subject. I want every student who leaves ICS to think critically and make good choices; guided always by the wisdom of Allah, Prophet Muhammad, and his purified family.
