"The content we have learned thus far has left me wanting to join other programs"
I love Miftaah Lite for its flexibility and convenience. The content we have learned thus far has left me wanting to join other programs like Miftaah Seekers or do the Associates program. The scholars are extremely knowledgeable and have approached the subjects in a way that makes you want to learn more.
