Summer Classes Summer classes will be maintained if there is sufficient student interest and teacher availability. During the summer the classes emphasize more conversational Arabic, review of previous school year work and cultural activities preparing for the Annual Arab Festival held in October of each year. The class activities and availability will be announced at the last quarter of the school year. Beside classroom instruction, students should expect to spend a minimum of 1 to 2 hours weekly outside the classroom to complete assigned homework. We highly encourage parents to help their children learn Arabic by making sure the children complete their homework assignments, by speaking in Arabic with them, and by reading Arabic children stories to them.
Parental involvement is critical for language acquisition.
Ten minutes a day practicing together with your kids is more valuable than one hour study by themselves. All classes are offered at the ACC located at 2 Plaza Avenue in San Francisco. For a more detailed description of each class offerings, please see course description. The classes are scheduled on a trimester system following the school calendar year i.e. September through June. Enrollment, Cost, and Attendance Enrollment is processed at the beginning of each trimester.
