Presentation
For students wishing to specialise in the various branches of the Arabic language, the Al-Isbaah Institute offers the study of numerous books, independently of our general programme.
These books have been carefully chosen in advance by our team, and are recognised by Arabic language scholars of every era.
Their study depends on the student's choice, in consultation with their teacher, who will have assessed the student's ability to study them.
