Qasid Online · Fall 2026 Open House

Qasid Institute was founded in 2001 in Amman, Jordan, with a simple yet ambitious vision: to provide world-class Arabic education rooted in rigor, tradition, and excellence.

Nearly 25 years later, Qasid has grown into a global center of learning, welcoming students from more than 25 countries. Today, Qasid offers both on-site and online programs, making the same academic rigor available to those who cannot travel to Jordan.

We first began teaching online in 2012, long before online learning became common, and have since spent over a decade refining and perfecting the Qasid Online experience.

Our online program is designed for serious Arabic learners who are committed to measurable progress. Whether you’re taking your very first steps or have made several previous attempts at Arabic, our goal is to create a personalized learning path that meets you where you are.

Qasid Online is not simply a set of pre-recorded lectures. Every student is paired with an instructor for live one-on-one sessions, ensuring a tailored experience that addresses your individual goals and challenges.

One of the pillars of Qasid Online is our flipped classroom approach. Here’s what that means for you:

• Independent Preparation: You’ll access recorded grammar lectures, vocabulary drills, and interactive exercises on your own time through our Learning Management System (LMS).

• Live Coaching Sessions: Your one-on-one sessions are fully devoted to speaking, listening, and activating what you’ve prepared. This means no wasted time on passive listening and every minute is spent using the language.

• Structured Activity Sheets: Each live session comes with a session guide, so you always know exactly what to expect and can focus on applying what you’ve learned.

This method ensures that your live contact time is highly efficient, immersive and remains a true “Arabic coaching” experience.

Qasid Online offers multiple learning tracks:

• Classical Arabic

• Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)

• Levantine Dialect

• Gulf Dialect (Newly launched)

Your choice of track depends on your goals — whether you’re preparing for graduate study, advancing your career, or deepening your connection to the Qur’an.

All our programs follow ACTFL proficiency standards, taking students from Novice through Advanced levels. Before starting, each student sits for a placement interview to determine their level, followed by an orientation session to ease them into the program.

Each course runs in 10-week quarters, with:

• 1 live session per week (students may add more)

• ~5 hours of independent study per session

• A total commitment of 6 hours per week

This balance of structure and flexibility allows students to build Arabic into their routine without compromising on academic rigor.

As our director Omar Matadar said during the previous session:

“Arabic is a jealous language. If you give it all of you, it will give you half of it. Arabic demands your daily attention, even 30–45 minutes a day, to truly reward you with progress.”

Qasid Online is built around its faculty. Each instructor brings years of specialized experience teaching Arabic as a second language, trained in methods developed specifically for non-native learners. Their involvement extends past the lesson itself, in the pace they set for each student, the corrections they choose to make and the ones they let go.

Enrollment and Next Steps

Our next 10-week quarter begins the week of September 6th, 2026. Apply by September 5th, 2026.

If you have questions about your specific goals, we invite you to schedule a one-on-one Zoom consultation with our faculty.
