Best Arabic Program

Arabic is a rich and beautiful language, representing our culture, our heritage and the words of the Holy Quran. It is also complex and challenging, calling for high pedagogical standards and innovative teaching practices. Engaging our students and helping them to learn, preserve and expand the reach of spoken and written Arabic is a calling worthy of recognition. 

This award recognizes the most engaging and impactful program developed by a school to improve Arabic literacy and to promote a passion for and preservation of the Arabic language. The program must demonstrate positive student learning outcomes, as well as innovative and engaging strategies for encouraging students to not only learn Arabic, but to study and use the language throughout their lives, to preserve it, to share it with others, and to pass it on to future generations.

Stakeholder engagement will also be taken into consideration, for example the involvement of parents, family members, businesses and/or community organizations.
