About our school

The Center for Arabic Culture’s (CAC) Arabic Sunday School in New England focuses on both academic empowerment and cultural enrichment activities. Our goal is to equip every student with the tools to speak, read and write Arabic. The School’s goal is to empower students, through education, to develop knowledge and pride in the Arabic language and culture. The CAC Arabic School shares the organization's vision of promoting Arabic culture with no affiliation to any religious or political organizations.

The school is committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment where diversity is celebrated, where respect will be practiced to foster the academic and cultural development of all students regardless of gender, race or religion.
