Testimonials
The Al-Madina Arabic Intensive Summer Program is a program our family has always dreamed of and has truly been life changing! Every one of my four children has had a teacher that was passionate, enthusiastic, engaging and encouraging with them every step of the way with instruction and one on one interactions. My kids have developed a deep rooted love for the language and we will always be indebted to Al-Madina Institute. We look forward to continuing and being able to have the kids speak to their family overseas as well as understand the glorious language of the Qur’an.
