Study, Volunteer, Or Intern In Summer

If you would like to join us in the Summer (from May to late September), our offering is a little different because summer is when we are at our busiest and most full of life. For example, during Summer, we run special intensive Arabic immersion programs that last four weeks each and are taught in small groups in various dialects and at various proficiency levels, from total beginner to advanced.

Our summer programs are particularly well-suited for university or college students who wish to study Arabic, volunteer, or intern abroad during their summer break. Thanks to our partnership with the Palestinian Ministry of Education, we can offer academic credit toward your studies, whether you study Arabic, volunteer, or intern with us. If you are not a current student or are not seeking academic credit, you are still more than welcome to join us during the summer. If you are interested in joining us in the summer, you can find more information on the individual program webpage.
