Frequently asked questions
What age can my child start Arabic classes?
Children can start from age 5. Younger children begin with letters and sounds; older children can move faster into reading and vocabulary.
Is this course for speaking Arabic or understanding the Quran?
The focus is reading Arabic and understanding Quranic and prayer vocabulary, so children understand what they recite. Simple everyday phrases are included for older children.
My child already reads Quran. Will this help?
Yes. Many children read the Quran fluently but do not understand the words. The vocabulary and grammar levels help them connect meaning to recitation.
Can a parent sit in the class?
Yes. We encourage parents to sit with younger children, and parents can join any class.
How do I book the free trial?
Use the form on this page or message us on WhatsApp. Your child gets 5 free trial classes before you pay any fee.
