Our Year-Round Programme gives you the chance to stay and experience Egypt over a longer period of time. The curriculum gives you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the language and gain plenty of speaking practice alongside your Core Arabic language classes.

The Core Curriculum

The main Arabic programme is a general Fusha (Standard) Arabic programme that targets and develops all four language skills simultaneously: listening, reading, writing and speaking. It teaches grammar (Nahw, Sarf and Balagha) and vocabulary related to a wide range of topics and themes, modern and classical across the levels.

The Immersion Curriculum

The Arabic Immersion programme is made up of the Core Curriculum and additional classes to improve your communication skills (writing and speaking) and make your experience more enjoyable and immersive. 

ADDITIONAL CLASSES

  • Projects & Activities (12 hours per level) – benefit from a variety of activities such as (not limited to) debating, extended role-plays, presentations, fieldwork and calligraphy. Projects and activities differ depending on your level and interests.
  • Speaking classes (4 hours per level) – These are organised to give you more conversation practice in small groups.

 

Quran

The Quran programme set for the duration of the year aims to:

  • Improve your Tajweed recitation of the Quran;
  • Give you an in-depth understanding of the Tajweed rules;
  • Guide you to attain the etiquettes (Adab) of a student of the Quran;
  • Move you closer to your Hifdh goal* (for full-time programmes only)

During the course of the programme, you will have the benefit of studying the theoretical and practical side of Tajweed and the Tafsir of selected short Surahs.

The opportunity to gain Ijaazah is available for those who qualify.

  • Projects & Activities – these are designed to improve your speaking, and writing skills practically through role-play, presentations, discussions, giving speeches, debates etc.

  • ‘Aamiyyah classes – The introductory Egyptian dialect course aims to give you a basic understanding of the language used daily around you.

Why Egypt?

Visit the ancient city of Cairo, home to many scholars and specialist of the Arabic language and Quranic sciences…

Egypt has always been a learning hub for Arabic, Quran and Islamic sciences being where scholars in these fields and their students reside and teach.  

Areas like Madinat Nasr are buzzing with foreigners from all corners of the world in their journey of studying Arabic, Quran and Islamic studies so you'll not only meet locals, but people of other cultures who probably only share one language with you (Arabic).

Although the language of the streets is the Egyptian colloquial dialect (known as  'Aamiyyah), it is still relatively easy to pick up as it has been minimally influenced by the language of its  colonisers. Many words are derived from fusha (Modern Standard Arabic) so it is possible to understand what is being said over time.

The Islamic atmosphere, friendly people and hospitality leaves everyone with memories that  gives them a longing to return back.

What students have said...

"A strength of the Arabic programme is the group discussions and creative activities. e.g. plan a business idea and pitch it."

The teachers are very precise when it comes to reciting correctly

"I ... can definitely see improvements in my recitation"

I enjoy how interactive the lessons are and how we do a lot of speaking practice and play a lot of games.

"The supervisor is very easy and comfortable to speak to"

The supervisor is very easy and comfortable to speak to. She made us feel welcome in Egypt and that we could come to her for help at any time which was very comforting. Upon meeting our landlord we told him all of our problems and the supervisor was very supportive of the situation and would speak on our behalf which eventually led him to agree to replace damaged stuff in the house such as mattresses and door handles.

"...helped me to settle in"

Well-organised program. Student noticeboard was useful & helped me to settle in. Information is usually communicated to us promptly.

"Class sizes are small which make the lessons more focused."

"...strengthens my connection with the Quran"

I love the tajweed side as well as the tibyan of imam an nawawi. Reading the Tibyan with the quran course js great because it builds a sense of gratification to Allah and strengthens my connection with the Quran. The sheikh explains the Tajweed rules very easy for me to understand and remember which I appreciate a lot.

FAQ

Frequently Asked

Are your teachers qualified?

We are highly selective with our teachers because we strongly believe they are the ones who put life into our programmes and are key to shaping student experiences.

The teachers are native Arabic speakers who are well-educated and specialised in the field of Arabic or related fields.

They have also undergone reputable teacher training in teaching Arabic to non-natives and are experienced so students can feel they are being taught by the best.

What value does your institute bring to students?
  • Student Services – Our Student Services team is dedicated to making you feel at ease whilst in Egypt, for problems you may face outside of classes (e.g. settling in, accompanying students to the hospital, visa renewal). You don’t need to know people in Egypt to get to Cairo safely, because we take on that role. Students who wish to spend more time on their studies, and less time organising everything around it will find the support and supervision we provide useful.
  • Mentorship – If you’re unsure about your journey or facing challenges, we’re present to lend you an ear, and give you guidance and advice (as former Arabic students).
  • Focus and accountability – We take in small numbers of students at a time to focus on them during the programme. We believe in bringing value to students during their time with us and tailor content to their interests where possible. We’re keen on helping you reach your potential and guiding you to your end goal.
  • Small class sizes – Students develop a very close relationship with their teachers due to the intimate class sizes and the period of time they are given to benefit from each teacher.
  • Constantly developing to be better – While we will never claim to be the best  (as that is subjective to every individual), we have high standards in the services we provide. Our courses and services are shaped by student feedback which we conduct regularly.
What currency are the fees in?

The fees displayed with the £ sign are GBP (Great British Pounds).

Payment in other currencies may be available (please check with the administration).

When should I apply?

You should try to apply as soon as registration is open as spaces. Places are limited so it’s best to reserve your place ahead of time, especially if you require accommodation.

When will places be accepted?

All our courses require a minimum number of students for a given level. We accept places and send confirmation emails as soon as the minimum number of students is reached.

What expenses are not covered?

Flights, visas, mobile data/credit, coursebooks, groceries and travel.
