The 2026–27 cohort has 20 spots. Final selections are based on three criteria: 1. Readiness for a 3-year commitment. 2. Willingness to grow — we are not looking for the most religious or most disciplined boy. We are looking for a young man who is open and wants to become better. 3. Family support — a boy can only thrive here if his family is behind him. We do not select based on religious knowledge, academic performance, or where a boy currently stands in his deen. If your son is not selected, he will be added to our priority waitlist for future cycles, insha'Allah.
