The Quakers Hill Arabic School is registered with the NSW Department of Education as a Community Language School, offering a unique and enriching learning experience aligned with NSW school terms to meet the needs of local Muslim children.
Regardless of age, our courses are designed to enrol students based on their learning and understanding, ensuring a tailored approach that allows each child to thrive and progress at their own pace. Please note that the age ranges provided are approximate and may vary depending on individual students' abilities and progress. It's important to tailor the course content and pace to suit each child's learning and understanding.
In our beginner-level course, children between the ages of 5 and 7 will embark on an exciting journey to learn the foundations of reading. They will dive into phonics, discovering the sounds that letters make and how they come together to form words. Through engaging activities and interactive exercises, they will gain fluency in recognising letter sounds and basic sight words.
In the beginner level, no books will be provided by the school. However, from time to time, worksheets are provided by the teachers. Please ensure you communicate with your children and help them in their learning.
As students progress to the intermediate level (ages 8-10), our course focuses on enhancing reading skills and fluency. Students will be provided with Qaida Noorania, which is a simple way of teaching the Arabic language. It is designed to educate kids to correctly read Classic Arabic. It serves as a teaching application that helps in improving Arabic recitation and reading skills.
In the advanced level, students will engage in activities that challenge their comprehension abilities and improve their reading speed. They will also be exposed to a wide variety of literary genres, including day-to-day communication in Arabic.
In the senior level (ages 11-13), students will be able to read any Arabic book fluently. They will also be able to understand and engage in basic communication in Arabic.
