As a person of mixed heritage, I did not get a chance to learn Arabic growing up. As a result I was very keen to get my children learning Arabic from an early age. When I heard about The Arabic Club For Kids, I quickly signed my 5 year old daughter up to attend despite being a little concerned that she might find it a little demanding after attending a full week of school. My fears were quickly allayed when I saw how much she enjoyed going to the club. Maha and Rawad have done a fantastic job of teaching her through play based learning and providing a safe and nurturing environment for all the kids. Whenever I pick my daughter up after a morning at the club, she is always happy, full of energy and keen to impress me with what she has learned. The Arabic Club For Kids is a great institution, I hope it carries on for many years. Needless to say I am planning to send my son along as soon as he is old enough!

I would like to thank my son's teachers for the wonderful job they do in making Saturday afternoon such a fun way for him to learn Arabic. Since my son started he has become increasingly interested in both the language and the culture, and it has given us the opportunity to make friends from the community. I commend you for the gentle approach in teaching which nurtures his interest and promotes his learning.

My children have been attending The Arabic Club for three years in a row. They made friends and have a lot of affection for their teachers. The school curriculum, the teachers and the pupils make learning Arabic a fun and happy experience. The diversity of people and nationalities is also of great importance, as it gives children a better understanding of Arab diversity. I recommend The Arabic Club For Kids to anybody wanting to give his or her children a positive image of Arabic and Arab culture in general.

Our son has loved his year at The Arabic Club For Kids. He walks in every week with a sense of enthusiasm without looking back. He enjoys his activities. The football he plays with Ustadh Ahmad, (he is a great football fan), and the animal puzzles with Ustadha Iman, and the activities and the surahs he learns with Ustadha Maha. He is keen to recount his days acitvities and the things he learnt. He brings home his artwork in Arabic and talks about his friends. It makes him proud of his identity, and that his friends share the same identity. The parents are also given the opportunity to get involved in cultural days where there is a melting pot different nationalities and exotic dishes. Children wear their and show off their national dress and get presents, all expertly organised by Ustadha Amal. We would like to say a huge thank you to you and the expert high calibre staff. We very much look forward to next year.

My son has been going to The Arabic Club For Kids for two years now, and he has learnt so much. The teachers have such a unique way of teaching the children Arabic and my son loves to go every Saturday. The optional learning to recite the Quran has been really good and I am very pleased each week when I hear what part of the surah he has learned.

We feel very lucky that our child is attending The Arabic Club For Kids. He is making excellent progress in Arabic (written and spoken) and enjoys doing his homework. We have seen steady improvement and he is definately more confident and very happy.

Mrs. Mary Nutley. (kindergarten), Dec 08.

I would really like to thank you for the interest and dedication you have shown.. my son does not speak as much Arabic as I would like him to at home. I am not Arab or Muslim but it is very important to me that my son learns as much about his father's culture as he learns about mine. ... I have been very impressed by the way you are doing things and the care and gentleness with which you have introduced the learning program to young children. So much so that my son is very happy to attend every Saturday morning. Your teachers, your helpers and you have made me feel very welcome which has encouraged me to remain committed. I know I have chosen the absolute right place and environment for my son.

Before The Arabic Club For Kids, my son had never enjoyed going to Arabic school in the past. However thanks to the learning through play environment and the openess and warmth of the teachers, my son looks forward to Arabic school, has made many friends and come home happy!

We Love The Arabic Club For Kids. My daughter looks forward to it which is great. She is beginning to learn more and more Arabic. However she thinks that it is fun. This makes me feel much better about her spending Saturday studying as she seems to really enjoy it. We just wish it could be located closer to us in North London.

For children at a certain age and developmental stage the key to unlocking their full potential is 'reaching them'. I believe the atmosphere and environment at the Arabic Club For Kids is palpably that of kindness, nurturing and fun! My 6yr old son attests to this each week. Such a place has been lond overdue, WELL DONE!

Mr. Azzedine Fetnaci. (foundation and level 1) Dec 08.

Having our children in the Arabic Club For Kids has helped them with their English schooling and motivates them to do better and learn about Islam and Arab culture.

Mrs. Munizeh Salahuddin. (foundation) July 07.

We are very satisfied with the excellent teaching methods. Children are motivated and enthusiastic to attend the classes. The environment is cheerful and happy and my daughter looks forward to going to school on Saturday.

The Arabic Club For Kids is very different to other Arabic schools our daughter has attended. There is a structured learning program in place, coupled with innovative interactive teaching methods. We have seen a huge improvement in our daughter's Arabic skills are just a few sessions. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

This is my second try for my child to attend an Arabic school. He used to be in another Arabic school but he hated it. But thanks to God and to everyone who is teaching at your club, my child loves it there and now I can see his benefit from it, plus he is now confident to learn and understand Arabic. Thanks to everyone in The Arabic Club For Kids.
