One-on-one Arabic and Quran classes for non-Arabic-speaking kids, taught live by fluent English-speaking teachers.
Muslims make up about 12% of Amsterdam's population, roughly 90,000 people, most of Moroccan and Turkish descent. Many of these families are now second or third generation, raising children who are fluent in Dutch and often English, but who never picked up Arabic at home.
Al-Buraq Academy teaches Arabic reading and Quran from zero, entirely in English, which works well for Amsterdam's many international and second-generation Muslim families who are more confident in English than Arabic.
Every teacher communicates comfortably in English, so your child never feels lost in a lesson taught in a language they don't yet speak.
