Arabic Year at King's Academy

Arabic Year at King’s Academy (AY) offers high school students the opportunity for short-term enrollment at King’s Academy, where they take a combination of specialized courses in Arabic language, history and culture, along with traditional American curriculum courses in science, world languages, mathematics, English and the arts.

The goal of AY is to allow students to make substantial progress in Arabic language study, soak in the history and culture of the Middle East and “learn by doing” through off-campus educational excursions in Jordan and the region. The program welcomes students whose main interest is Arabic fluency, as well as students seeking the cultural and educational benefits of living and learning in a different part of the world.
