Arabic classes for FS1 and FS2 are combined for Arabs and Non-Arabs for smooth transition into the primary level. Student learning is promoted through games, songs and activities.

The four areas of language, writing, reading, speaking and listening, are developed using different activities, games and songs

Students are given a chance to practice their Arabic language skills through different activities such as The National day, Arabic day, International Day, Arabic calligraphy as well as the daily morning assembly. All these activities are conducted to also promote a strong Civic sense and appreciation for the culture and heritage of the United Arab Emirates.
