Arabic Dual Language Program
We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new Arabic language program at Intercultural, designed specifically for children seeking dual-language instruction. This dedicated program emphasizes not only the Arabic language but also its rich culture, offering a holistic approach to learning. Our comprehensive curriculum focuses on achieving biliteracy in Arabic, ensuring that students develop essential communication skills, and with the guidance of our expert instructors, your child will embark on an enriching journey through this beautiful language, opening doors to numerous opportunities.
Learning Arabic provides invaluable insights into a region of profound historical, cultural, and geopolitical significance. As parents, you understand the importance of equipping your children with skills that enhance their future prospects. Mastering Arabic will not only broaden their linguistic horizons but also foster a deeper understanding of global cultures.

Yes, our Arabic program is purely focused on teaching the language and its culture; we do not incorporate any religious teachings into our curriculum. While we recognize that the religious component of many Arabic programs is incredibly important to families, it is our goal to build a program where everyone, regardless of religion or cultural background, is encouraged to join. We will be able to focus solely on our goal of biliteracy and our mission to develop global citizens.
