Our Arabic language summer program is an intensive program which consists of 4 hours a day of study, 5 days a week. During the summer term, our Institute also offers free classes in the Qur'an in the evening, as well as lectures on Yemen and Arab culture during the weekends.
SIAL offers full-term and half-term summer programs. Each 6-week full term course is designed to cover the equivalent of one university semester of Arabic. There is a one-week break in between each full term. Students can also enroll in any of our 3-week half term courses. There are no scheduled breaks in between half terms.
Students can either choose to stay in the student houses or opt for a different housing option. For the total cost, add the visa fee and rent, both optional, to the tuition.
