At Qalam wa Lawh Center we embrace tradition and the belief that language and knowledge are unifying forces which can can be actively used to promote peace and co-existence.  According to the most famous Arab in history, the Prophet Muhammed, "He who travels in the search of knowledge, to him God shows the way of Paradise."     Duration Flexible Country Region City Morocco Kenitra Rabat   Term Deadline for application Total cost Throughout the year   Open Application Date $ 294   Cost include description One week semi intensive course (20 hours instruction), 2 hours of calligraphy elective, 2 Rabat excursions, breakfast Monday-Friday and school residence housing.    Costs include Open to Age range Emergency evacuation services Excursions Food Housing In-country orientation/Training In-country staff support Language instruction Pre-departure orientation/Training Registration fees American Australian Canadian European New Zaeland South African World Wide 16-55+   Living arrangements Religion   Apartment/Flat Group living Home-stays Independent living No preference     Languages taught at language school Languages used as medium of teaching   Arabic Arabic     Typical application process Written Application     Send to friend      << Back   1 2 3 4Next >>   Kenitra, Morocco   Testimonials   Jakarta, Indonesia Lee Sawari I definitely wanted to go abroad to learn an other language.
