Arabic Year
In 2011, King's Academy initiated the Arabic Year at King's Academy (AY) program which offers one year of intensive Arabic study, culture immersion and experiential learning to American and international high school students (grades 10-12) interested in Arabic and Middle Eastern study. The program offers AY students two classes of intensive Arabic each school day as part of a normal raft of college preparation courses. In addition, students enjoy extensive outings and trips throughout the historic and beautiful country of Jordan.

Famous quotes containing the word year:
“They give us a pair of cloth shorts twice a year for all our clothing. When we work in the sugar mills and catch our finger in the millstone, they cut off our hand; when we try to run away, they cut off our leg: both things have happened to me. It is at this price that you eat sugar in Europe.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
