Subject:Looking for Arabic Language Programs K-12

The National Capital Language Resource Center is a collaboration of  
the Georgetown University, The George Washington University, and The  
Center for Applied Linguistics. We have been funded by the U.S.  
Department of Education to help develop a network for teachers of  
Arabic K-12. Our website is www.nclrc.org.

For several years we have been developing a list of schools that  
teach Arabic as a core subject in K-12 in the U.S. This past year,  
our collecting efforts took a little bit of a hiatus but we have  
begun to update the information once again. Below is the list of the  
public schools and public charter schools that we are aware of who  
are teaching Arabic now. We have information on more, but it is so  
incomplete, we are reluctant to list those schools.  Included are  
also a few private schools from whom we have received permission to  
disseminate their names.

If you are aware of any other schools where Arabic is taught K-12,  
please let us know by email mailto:nclrc at gwu.edu, or telephone (202)  
973-1086, and we will contact them. If you are administrator of a  
teacher listserv, please feel free to forward this on to others who  
may help us. It would be helpful if you can also provide us with any  
of the following: contact name, phone number, e-mail, or Web site.

In the near future, the list of public, public charter schools, and  
private schools (who give permission) will be published on our  
website. It is important that this list be as complete as possible  
since it will be an encouragement to others in setting up Arabic  
language programs.

Some on this list will wonder about why Islamic schools are not  
included. We have information on many Islamic schools and certainly  
their efforts to increase Arabic language teaching is in the  
forefront of the field. If you have information on any schools,  
please send them to us. We will ask each school about permission to  
list them, as we have with private schools. So if they don't give us  
permission, they will be part of the database, but not necessarily  
listed on the Web site or made publicly available.

Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
Dora Johnson
