Is the Arabic program open to everyone?

Yes. Our core program is a three-level sequence (ARB101 Novice, ARB102 Intermediate, and ARB103 Advanced) approved by Lammersville Unified School District for high school world language credit. Each year-long course counts as one full year of college-preparatory credit in a Language Other Than English, which counts toward eligibility for 4-year colleges.

For the 2026–27 school year, we accept students in grades 7–12. Students in 7th and 8th grade take the same courses as high school students, and the courses they complete count toward high school world language credit. Their grades are submitted to the high school for credit once they begin 9th grade.

Students who don’t need credit are also welcome to join. Our students come from many cultural and religious backgrounds, and everyone interested in learning Arabic is welcome.

We also offer a small Arabic-for-Kids pilot program for children ages 6–8, and we are planning a program for adults.

Does LUSD approve of this program?

LUSD has officially approved IAA to offer Arabic language courses ARB101, ARB102, and ARB103, from which LUSD will accept grades and credits for MHHS students. The approval was received on June 5th, 2024. You can find our program listed on the MHHS website. See registration below. 

How do you register for this program at MHHS?

• Inform your school counselor that you will be taking Arabic classes with  Iqraa Arabic Academy. More information can be found here on the MHHA website: Registration Instructions.
• If you have already registered for a different language, typically, you can drop that one at the beginning of the semester to continue with Arabic. Always check with your High School counselor for confirmation. 

How many weeks does this program last? 

The program is divided into three levels. We offer each level over a full academic year, which aligns with LUSD's academic year.

Each semester costs only $320.00, plus a $60 registration and book fee for the first semester. It can also be paid in monthly installments of $90.

What is your Holiday Schedule?
