Program Objective
The objective of the Summer Arabic Program is to make the Arabic language (colloquial, formal, and written) accessible to students in the most efficient and beneficial way possible.

Program Overview
This five-week program engages students in the culture of contemporary Lebanon, one of the world's most dynamic countries. Participants study at the prestigious Notre Dame University, Lebanon, where the SAP program is set for teaching formal and colloquial Arabic at the preliminary, preparatory, intermediate, and advanced levels. Intensive personalized classroom instruction is supplemented by review sessions, individual tutorials, and daily practice with Lebanese conversation partners chosen mostly from NDU students and staff. Group excursions in Lebanon give students insight into Lebanese culture, society and lifestyle, and provide students with opportunities to use their language skills with native speakers.

Housing and Meals
NDU provides summer students with dormitory accommodations in brand-new dorms located on the campus itself and an option for 3 meals a day.
Each student is provided with a furnished single room equipped with a wash basin and a mini fridge; each three rooms share full shower facilities.
The dorms have 24 hour front desk staff. Internet access available.
Apartments
The University can assist SAP students to find housing facilities of their preference near campus.
