Our Alumni

Being in Al Jabr has taught me what it means to be a lifelong learner and has provided me with such valuable experiences. Going through the IBCP programme was a challenge worth fighting for. I have learnt the importance of setting career goals, understanding ethical issues and perspectives, building connections and empathy to others, developing your own personal and professional skills, and the importance of agency.

Continuing on to higher educational learning has definitely been a challenge, however I wouldn’t have been able to make it if it weren’t for all the skills and lessons Al Jabr has given me. It has helped me navigate various obstacles and difficulties in my academic, personal, and professional life. Al Jabr has helped me instill a newfound courage to explore the world around me. This was also an endeavor made even more meaningful thanks to the incredible community I was part of. The support from all the students, staff, teachers, peers, and even parents has enriched my time here in Al Jabr. Despite the downs encountered along the way, there were countless memorable and fun moments that made the journey truly special. Whether it was participating in engaging projects, collaborating with classmates, or sharing laughter during challenging times, these experiences definitely have left a lasting impression on me. I aspire to carry forward the knowledge, skills, and values given to me at Al Jabr and as I continue my journey, I hope to continue to grow as a learner and as a person.

Years of learning at Al Jabr Islamic School equipped me with the expected high-level preparations expected in the University Faculty of Law at the University of Gadjah Mada. From IBCP curriculum followed at Al Jabr, critical thinking skills, communication, and research skills that I gained were quite beneficial in my law coursework. Speaking of the factors that led me to decision in choice of the specialization, I can state that the atmosphere at Al Jabr contributed a lot to my personal development, and helped me embrace other points of view, as well as dive deep into the case analyses that I faced in the course of my further studies. I am privileged that I attended Al Jabr as it prepared me not only with knowledge, but with character and clear vision of following the right way and being ethically sound.

Looking back at my time in Al-Jabr, I have grown to appreciate how much of what was taught during High School, especially during the Career-related Programme (CP) has helped me. In the 2 years I was there, the teachers and curriculum have been instrumental in fostering academic growth and a sense of responsibility in me.

The final project of IBCP, the Reflective Project, was instrumental in helping expand my perspectives by exploring different viewpoints and perspectives on relevant global issues not only through research, but also through real world interviews and surveys. This was possible with the help of my amazing supervisor, Ms. Tarra who supported and motivated me throughout the project and pushed me beyond my comfort zone.

Values such as Open-Mindedness, and the ability to take criticism, which I learnt throughout my time in Al-Jabr has helped me in college, both in studies and organizational activities as it provided a strong foundation and allowed me to adapt to new environments and embrace diverse perspectives.
