All students in Year 13 who are either Emirati or whose UAE residency visa is on an Arab passport are required to take Arabic lessons, as per UAE law and the Ministry of Education Guidelines.

Expatriate students are not required to take Arabic, unless they wish to qualify for an equivalency certificate from the UAE government, confirming that a student has completed their secondary education in the UAE

COURSE CONTENT
