2024-25 Bait-ul Ilm and SEED Registration

May 21, 2024 | Canada

It has been a banner year at Supportive Environments and Experiences for Development (SEED) and Bait-ul Ilm (BUI)! Thanks to our dedicated leadership teams and educators, thousands of Ismaili students across the country were able to access quality, engaging, faith-based educational experiences throughout the year.

SEED (ages birth to under 4 years) and BUI (ages 4-18 years) are integral educational programs for the youth of our Jamat.

At the American University in Cairo (2006), Mawlana Hazar Imam stated,

In keeping with our past traditions, and in response to our present needs, we must to go out and find the best of the world’s knowledge—wherever it exists.

But accessing knowledge, is only the first step. The second step--the application of knowledge, is also demanding. Knowledge, after all, can be used well or poorly —for good or evil purposes.

Once we have acquired knowledge, it is important that the ethical guidelines of faith be invoked, helping us apply what we have learned to the highest possible ends. And it is also important that those ends be related to the practical needs of our peoples.

BUI and SEED empower students to become curious, seek knowledge, and apply it in an ethical manner, so they can live their best life and reach for the stars. Throughout this formative process, students learn about themselves, shape their identities as Shia Ismaili Muslims, and become equipped to understand and grapple with the world around them. They also become ambassadors of our faith and learn to uplift others in the Jamat and in the broader communities in which they live.

We are excited to announce that registration for the 2024-2025 cycle of SEED and BUI is now underway. For the first time, students can register for either program using a common registration form. Families of students who are currently registered at BUI will receive personalized links to register in their inboxes. Please be sure to check junk and spam folders. All other students may register by using the following forms:

Opportunities to serve

To continue to provide quality religious education to all students, we need your support. There are opportunities to serve in one-time or weekly roles. Please consider volunteering your time or knowledge to make SEED and BUI the best they can be. For one-time volunteer opportunities, proceed to the student registration form. For weekly volunteer roles, please register here.

We can’t wait to see you all in September!
