Dates & Course Options
All classes start every Monday, year round.
In-class Group Classes
Our group classes are designed to provide instruction over any duration from one week to a complete academic year. Students can choose to start their classes any Monday throughout the year. Classes are held in small size groups five days a week, from Monday to Friday. Both our MSA and CMA courses consist of six levels of studies; each level is divided into three successive and progressive sublevels. Each sublevel is generally covered in four weeks. Students with prior knowledge of Arabic are expected to take an evaluation test in order to receive proper placement in the program.
In-class & Online Private Classes
Our private classes provide one-on-one language instruction to students at all levels of Arabic language proficiency. Students benefit from flexible course length and structure. They can choose their desired starting date, their preferred timetable, the number of hours they wish to study as well as their favorite teacher if they have already studied with us before.
Students may choose to combine group classes with additional private lessons to increase the intensity of the course, to work on a particular language skill, or simply to overcome any learning difficulties encountered in class.
Private classes can be selected for MSA, CMA, Spoken Arabic, Exam Preparation, Teacher Training or Specialized Courses.
