These are educational classes established at local venues, usually the local primary school, for the Muslim and Arab children and youth to learn to read and write Arabic. The ICPA languages program was founded in 1994 and continues to serve the community through teaching Arabic at NSW schools after-hours and on weekends. Students receive tuition based upon current Syllabus and textbooks, approved by the Department of Education and Training. All teachers employed by the ICPA comply with the conditions of a Community Language Teaching Professional and have attended one of the courses run by the Department of Education and Training.
