ARABIC
Arabic Summer at King’s Academy caters to different levels of backgrounds and abilities in the Arabic language. Specific focus is directed at teaching functional Arabic and skills essential for reading, writing and holding conversations. Students spend five hours each day in a combination of academic class work and cultural activities. There are separate classes for heritage and non-heritage speakers, as well as an Arabic A-level review class.
ENGLISH King’s offers English as a Second Language instruction for levels from beginning to advanced. Classes are designed to provide practice in listening, speaking, reading and writing. Students are carefully tested upon arrival to ensure proper level placement and they are monitored throughout the program to ensure that they remain at the appropriate level of instruction. Students are grouped in small classes according to ability, and therefore receive significant individual attention from teachers.
