Arabic Language
For Arab students, learning their mother tongue (Arabic Language Arts) is very important since language is deeply connected to notions of culture and identity. Arab students may perform better academically when their language and culture is actively recognized by the school. At home, Arab parents are encouraged to continue the use of Arabic through reading stories and writing emails, listening to radio and television and doing internet research in this language. In addition to building language, it helps the child maintain social-emotional ties with Arab culture and society.
Arabic language offerings in Ignite School include Arabic Language Arts for mother tongue (native) students and Arabic as a New Language for Arabic language learners (non-native speakers). Grades 1 to 12 Arabic languages comply with KHDA guidelines and use the UAE MoE curriculum. All Arabic speaking students will undertake Arabic Language Arts.
