Qalam wa Lawh Center for Arabic Studies

“I am currently attending this Arabic language school in Morocco, and I am having an amazing experience. The school is truly incredible. The teachers are highly skilled and very pedagogical, which makes learning both effective and enjoyable. I really feel that I am improving every day. What I especially appreciate is that the school offers more than just classes. There are also activities that allow you to practice the language in real-life situations and discover the culture, making the whole experience even more enriching. The environment is very international, and everyone is supportive and helpful. Whenever I have a question, there is always someone ready to help, whether it is a teacher or another student. I am learning with Samah, Abdallah, and Nadia, and I can honestly say they are all extremely professional. They are excellent teachers, very clear in their explanations, and also very kind and friendly. Learning with them is truly a pleasure. I highly recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn Arabic in a serious but enjoyable way. On top of that, Rabat is a very pleasant city to live in, calm, beautiful, and welcoming.”

“My husband and I studied at Qalam wa Lawh for 3 months, with the goal of improving our foundations of Arabic and to gain confidence to speak the language. We gained all of this and more at Qalam, and our expectations were met and also exceeded! The amount of effort and care that the staff put in to the lessons and extra curricular activities is amazing. Our program and classes were well structured, varied and engaging and the extra curricular activities helped us to learn more about Moroccan culture and bond with our classmates. Overall we would highly recommend this school to anyone looking to learn Arabic in Morocco, you will be well supported by the team and have an experience of a lifetime!”

“I arrived at Qalam wa Lawh in Rabat just two weeks ago, and honestly, I already feel completely at home! This school is truly a gem. The organisation is outstanding: classrooms are spacious and bright, and the entire staff is incredibly welcoming and always available. They’re ready to assist every single student with anything they need, making the transition smooth and easy. The Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) courses are taught by exceptionally skilled teachers. The lessons are intensive and well-structured — they really manage to immerse you in the Arabic language in a surprisingly short time! All the activities outside the classroom are designed to help students discover the city of Rabat and its culture. We had a wonderful visit to the Royal Institute of Amazigh Culture, and there are also various volunteering projects and day trips to nearby cities such as Chefchaouen, Tangier, and Casablanca. All these activities involve using Arabic in real-life contexts, which I find extremely valuable for applying what we learn in class. For this reason, I believe the Arabic teaching at Qalam wa Lawh is truly of the highest quality. If you’re looking for a supportive, well-organised, and truly effective place to study Arabic in Rabat, Qalam wa Lawh is definitely the right choice! Highly recommended! 🌟”

“The Arabic program is amazing. I learned a lot in 3 months. They are very well organized, offering cultural field trips, trips to other cities and opportunities to practice speaking Arabic. The teachers are very good. Qalam wa Lawh is the best choice.”

“Qalam was a great choice for our Arabic study abroad program in the University of Alabama.the management, administrators, teachers, and everyone in the center went far and beyond everything to successfully run yhe program. Amazing... I would go back anytime and recommend it to anyone.”

“In my role as Director of the Arabic Program in Alabama, I have partnered with Qalam wa Lawh to bring University of Alabama students for summer Arabic programs in 2024 and 2025 and Qalam never fails to create an exceptional learning environment. The academic program is exceptionally well structured and effective, and my students made remarkable progress in Arabic over a short period of time. What truly sets Qalam wa Lawh apart is its commitment to cultural immersion. The thoughtfully designed activities reinforce classroom learning through real-life experiences, making Arabic feel dynamic and practical. The homestay experience is another major highlight which offered my students a deep and meaningful connection to Moroccan daily life. Even long after returning home, my students continue to talk about their time at Qalam wa Lawh, which speaks volumes about the lasting impact of the program. I highly recommend Qalam wa Lawh to any university, program, or individual seeking serious Arabic language study combined with deep and authentic cultural immersion.”
