In accordance with the UAE national curriculum, Arabic language study is mandatory until 12th grade for Arab nationals and until 9th grade for foreign students. Islamic studies, taught from primary school through 12th grade, aim to develop critically thinking and responsible citizens by providing a high level of Islamic education.
