Where Does Qa'idah Fit Within the Curriculum?
Qa'idah provides the foundation for Arabic reading, helping students develop confidence in recognising letters, pronunciation and reading fluency before progressing further.
Alongside this reading journey, students also study Islamic Studies throughout their time at Ar-Rayyan Foundation, ensuring knowledge, worship, manners and character develop together.
This creates a balanced Islamic education where reading skills and Islamic understanding progress side by side.

What Do Families Say About Qa'idah?
From Nervous Beginner to Confident Learner
I didn't know any Arabic when I started, but my teacher helped me learn step by step and made lessons fun. Now I can read from the Qa'idah book and I'm excited to start reading the Qur'an!
