LEVEL ONE

Level one is the Foundation. It is also called “the Seedling”
It is the primary Level of the Educational System and the foundation of the process of teaching Arabic reading and writing upon which next Levels of Education are based. Accordingly, it necessary for us, parents and teachers, to pay this Level a great attention as it resembles the process of planting a seed, which if successful, the tree will grow and produce fruits.
In this Level, students learn the three basics of Arabic reading as well as the rules and principles of Arabic calligraphy. Through studying the book “Al-Qa’idah An-Nuraniyyah” (The Nuraniyah Rule) in addition to the books and exercises prepared by the teaching staff, the students gradually develop their pronunciation of the letters through learning articulation of sounds, so that they can pronounce Arabic properly. Also, in this Level, we work on developing the students’ memories regarding the memorizing the Noble Qur’an of which 22 Surahs of Juz’ (part of the Qur’an) `Amma are to be memorized throughout this Level.
