“Indeed, we have sent it down as an Arabic Qur’an in order that you may understand it”
Surat Yusuf (12:2).
Arabic is an important part of the educational experience at Al Noori Muslim School. As the language of the Qur’an and one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, Arabic provides students with the opportunity to develop linguistic skills while strengthening their understanding of Islamic heritage and identity.
Our Arabic program focuses on developing students’ ability to read, write, speak and understand Arabic through structured and engaging learning experiences. Students build vocabulary, develop grammatical understanding and gain confidence in communication.
Through the study of Arabic, students develop both language proficiency and cultural awareness, supporting their connection to Islamic texts and traditions.
Primary School (K–6)
In the Primary years, students are introduced to the foundations of the Arabic language through a structured and engaging program.
Students develop core language skills, including:
- recognising and writing Arabic letters
- reading simple words and sentences
- developing listening and speaking skills
- building vocabulary and basic grammar
Learning experiences include storytelling, guided reading, conversation and interactive activities that build confidence and enjoyment in language learning.
These early experiences establish a strong foundation while supporting students’ understanding of Islamic texts and traditions.
Secondary School (Years 7–8)
Arabic continues in Stage 4 (Years 7–8), where students build on their foundational knowledge and develop greater proficiency in the language.
Students further develop their skills through:

Students engage with a range of texts and learning activities that support their understanding of both the structure of the language and aspects of Arabic culture.
