Fairouz Academy is an Arabic language school in Calgary. We aim to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone to learn Arabic using a modern and effective approach.
We offer different programs that cater for children and adults, speakers and non-speakers. The courses provide the foundation of the Arabic language using the full immersion method, while dedicating individual attention to each student’s needs.
In our children programs, we utilize techniques such as plays, crafts, stories and songs and rhymes to supplement the textbooks to keep students engaged in our classes. Our goal with the completion of our programs is for the student to be able to speak, read and write Arabic.
Mission Statement
We believe in building a generation of independent citizens and empowering them with knowledge of their mother language in order to connect them to their roots and culture.
نحن نؤمن ببناء جيل من المواطنين المستقلين وتمكينهم من خلال العلم و المعرفة من أجل ربطهم بجذورهم وثقافتهم
Vision Statement
We aim to give the children in our community the opportunity to own their future through learning their mother tongue.
نهدف إلى إعطاء الأطفال في مجتمعنا الكندي الفرصة لامتلاك مستقبلهم من خلال تعلم لغتهم الأم
Why learn Arabic?
- Your future best friend may speak it
- Learning a new language is good for your brain
- Learning a new language can raise your grades in other subjects
- It can help you land an awesome job.
Also, students in Canada are encouraged to learn and use their mother tongue, which is very important for a number of reasons:
- Mother tongue is the language that parents master perfectly.
- Mother tongue is the most important tool to pass or receive knowledge because we learn better in the language we understand.
- Children who have strong first language skills are more willing and able to learn a second language
- The vocabulary and ease of communication will remain stronger in the mother tongue and will enable students to stay in touch with the literature and culture of their original country and to maintain their own language
- Learning the mother tongue helps in multilingualism, and helps to open up to the world and keep pace with intellectual and civilized development
Therefore, we must ensure that, as educators, we encourage our students to learn their mother tongue and to hand it down from generation to generation.

Isis Sunna
Director
I believe in the power of languages and the importance of communication. Languages open doors, new friendships and travel opportunities. Not to mention that learning a new language boosts creativity and brain function.
Arabic is a flexible, elegant and a not so difficult language to learn. It is the fifth most spoken language in the world and one of the official and working languages of the United Nations. Spoken in more than 25 countries.
Open a world of possibilities and travel opportunities by learning Arabic. Anyone with the right amount of interest can learn it. My courses were developed after extensive research in that area and years of teaching Arabic to non speakers in classrooms in Canada.
