The Foundation year is your starting point for both Arabic Language and Islamic Studies. No prior knowledge is required. Using Gateway to Arabic Books 1 & 2, you will learn to read and write Arabic from scratch, build foundational grammar, and gain a clear understanding of the basics of Islamic belief and practice. The Foundation class runs on Sundays — men attend from 4:00pm to 8:30pm, women from 10:30am to 3:15pm.
