This is the best course I have taken in Arabic. I highly recommend it for any high schooler thinking about transferring credits. 

Here’s how the program works…

This is a Classical Arabic course dedicated for high school students. Students come from public and private schools while some are homeschooled. Every school requires foreign language credit, yet few offer Arabic as an option. As an accredited institute, Arabic Daily works with parents and schools to transfer credits over to fulfill this foreign language credit. Each school has different policies. It is important that you speak to your counselor as soon as possible to ensure credits can be transferred.

With real and experienced instructors, it is not YOU who has to conform to the curriculum, but the curriculum that conforms to YOU! All learning sessions are delivered with a live instructor where you can ask questions and get the support you need to succeed. All classes are live with recordings available for review or excused absences. Live attendance is essential for a student’s success.

You will be shipped a specialized workbook where you can save your notes, complete with exercises to apply the teachings and practice!

Learning should always be fun and engaging.Take advantage of quizzes to test your knowledge and retain all the concepts you’ve learned for LIFE!

What You Can Expect

Live Sessions

Class Timings will be determined through a form that will analyze all the students’ availabilities. We always find a time that works for everyone. This is where we’ll deliver the core course content. Each live session has materials covered and time for Q&A.

This class really helped me understand the way that Arabic works and the grammar rules of it.

Arabic Daily Pedagogy

Arabic Daily has divided Classical Arabic learning into 6 levels. Each level is the equivalent to a semester. Classes run twice a week for 90 minutes allowing us to integrate this in the schedule of a busy high school student.

The first three levels fall under our Fundamentals Track. The goal of this track is to build the framework of Arabic. We teach you all the tools you need to navigate through Arabic.

The last three levels fall under our Reading Track. The goal of this track is to build vocabulary and reading practice by practically using these tools.

The first year we will complete the FCA series which focuses on building the fundamentals.

A student may stop after completing the FCA series.

Each semester is $750. To complete the entire program over 2 years, the cost would be $4500. Payment is taken every semester. Payment plans are available.

Will Arabic Daily’s program work with my homeschooling curriculum?2023-03-16T09:48:55-05:00

For parents in the United States, please look at your state laws here. If your state laws are relaxed, chances are that it will be a very easy process.
States that have little to no regulation are: Texas, Idaho, Oklahoma, Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Alaska, New Jersey, and Connecticut.

For parents outside of the United States, please click here to learn more.

Can my child skip a level if they have studied Arabic before?2023-03-16T09:58:56-05:00

Unfortunately, no. In our experience after teaching hundreds of high school students, every student will learn something new in the first level. For some there may be some review, but we encourage that. We build the students up from the ground level to ensure that their Arabic knowledge is sound. If a student skips a level, they are at risk of having large gaps in their knowledge. We have had native speakers, huffadh, and others all start from the beginning, but everyone has found it to be the correct decision.

Parents that have their child enrolled in Ohio public or private schools.2023-03-16T09:53:08-05:00

Ohio has a law known as Credit Flex. This education option gives students a way to be in charge of their learning. For some students, they see more value in school (“Why do I have to learn this?”) when they can connect learning with real world situations and future jobs. Credit flexibility is one way to increase a student’s interest in school and motivation to learn.

The key to this option is that the student drives the request as well as the plan to earn the credit. A specific interest or credit need of the student should be the basis for the request and the family and school should start by listening to the student. Educators and families may also work with students to initiate the plan for credit flexibility.

For more information click here and ask your school about this option. Keep in mind Arabic Daily is accredited through Cognia, which is information the school may want to know.
