Abdul Haseeb advocates for a holistic education, that nurtures the intellectual, physical, emotional and spiritual growth of young learners. He believes that the world needs intelligent minds, but even more importantly, it needs people of trustworthy intellect who embody compassion.
In 2016, Abdul Haseeb began working with an Islamic school to develop a framework for Character Education according to the Islamic values (Tarbiyah). Combining the Western and Islamic sources of knowledge, he attempted to embed ethical values in the taught and the hidden curriculum of the school. He engaged with the parent body, faculty members and the school leadership to weave the school narrative making it congenial to nurture thinking minds and compassionate humans.
