Expression of Interest

To enrol your child at Parramatta Arabic School, please complete our expression of interest form and bring your child for assessment. The information you provide will be used to finalise your child's enrolment.

We organise an assessment day at the start of Term 1 each year and will notify you via email if your application is received in time for this day. If you submit your application after the start of Term 1, you can bring your child for an assessment on any Saturday during school terms between 9:30 am and 12:30 pm.

We will try our best to accommodate your child in one of our classes. However, due to the high demand for our beginner classes and the limited spaces available, we cannot guarantee placement. Intermediate and advanced classes are generally available throughout the year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our programs are designed to be delivered over a full year, and commitment to the yearly schedule is essential for children to gain the maximum benefit. If you're seeking short-term courses, our program may not align with your needs.

Since our classes are only held once a week, it is important that students attend all sessions to maximise their learning potential. Education is a sequential process, and missing even one class can result in students missing important stages in the progression of topics, making it harder for them to keep up.

Our programs are coordinated with the NSW Department of Education, and students who attend at least 70% of classes will be eligible for a Certificate of Attendance issued by the Department. The certificate is only available to students who participate from the start of the year.

The annual fee for our program is $800 ($200 per term), billed semi-annually at $400 per semester inclusive of books and GST. A sibling discount is available: 5% off the total fee for two enrolled students, and 10% for three or more children. We accept Creative Kids vouchers issued by Service NSW.

As a non-profit organisation, the school uses the tuition fees to pay for rent, books, learning materials, gifts and awards, teachers' salaries, and general administration. Upon acceptance and fee payment, a seat will be reserved for your child, and the fee becomes non-refundable. Please ensure your child can commit to the full program before applying, to avoid any misunderstandings.

No, we don't offer tahfiz programs. At Parramatta Arabic School, our programs focus on teaching the Arabic language, which aids in improving students' abilities to read and memorise on their own.

We offer a light Quranic program alongside our Arabic program, giving a great opportunity for those interested in practising Quran memorisation and learning correct recitation.

The school serves students from diverse backgrounds, ages, and interests, creating a welcoming environment where they can develop their Arabic language skills. Our program focuses on building skills in reading, writing, speaking, and listening through structured lessons and interactive activities.

Families who prefer their children to participate in the Arabic program only or have specific preferences are encouraged to indicate these in their application and discuss them with us during the enrolment process.
