  • Q12: I have been studying Arabic in my country for a year. At what level should I expect to begin my studies?
    • A12: Our assessment of a student’s level of language proficiency does not depend only on his or her previous training. We need to know more information, such as: How many hours did you study per week? Who was your teacher? Was he a native speaker? In what discipline did he specialize (i.e.: Teachers of Arabic for non-speakers differ from teachers of Arabic for natives). What curricula were you studying? What textbook? And what method of instruction did your teacher implement
  • Q13: Do you have a summer program?
    • A13: Yes. We have a special intensive summer program. For details, please visit the webpage of The Summer Program
  • Q13: Can I continue my studies at Al Diwan after I finish the summer program?
    • A13: Sure, you can!
  • Q14: Tuition fees: are they changing?
    • A14: Tuition fees published on AL Diwan website are the exact fees you will be required to pay when you arrive at AL Diwan campus. Any changes will be declared at least a month ahead of the effective date. During your study at AL Diwan, if there are any plans to raise tuition, you will be notified a month ahead. Mostly, tuition increases do not go beyond 10%, and most of the time they occur at the beginning of the year.
