For over 24 years, we have strengthened migrants through education, dialogue, and community projects in Switzerland.
Arabic lessons in mother tongue and culture (HSK) complement regular school education. They
promote the first language, provide knowledge about the language region, and strengthen language skills, identity, and integration. Politically and religiously neutral instruction at Dar Al Farah has been recognized by the Canton of Zurich since 2011.
All our teachers are trained and dedicated to providing students with a solid knowledge base. Good grades are important, but not everything for success in life. Therefore, we also teach essential values such as responsibility, justice, social action, and respect for others.
The Parents’ Council addresses school-wide topics such as family friendliness, integration, school culture, and teacher relations. It organizes joint projects, parent lectures, intercultural activities, and events such as reading nights, sports day, excursions, and school festivals. It meets four times a year with school management, delegates, and parents to exchange ideas and concerns and regularly holds delegate meetings. Motivated parents wishing to engage in school matters are always welcome.
The "Al Bayan" teaching material targets Arabic-speaking children in heritage language education in Switzerland. It combines systematic language instruction – focusing on vocabulary,
grammar, reading, and listening comprehension – with creative and child-friendly methods such as stories, songs, rhythmic exercises, and playful activities. This creates a holistic learning environment that strengthens both language and cultural competencies and fosters joy in learning.

All of this happens with us and much more!
In our Arabic playgroup, children from 3 years old (maximum 10 children) are lovingly guided and supported, forming the foundation for healthy personality development, language promotion, and holistic learning.
The playgroup leader is trained in Switzerland and speaks Arabic and German.
Since 2011, Dar Al Farah has offered young people and adults the opportunity to learn Arabic. Our experienced teacher instructs in Modern Standard Arabic and simultaneously introduces the Arabic culture. She has many years of experience in adult education.
At Dar Al Farah, we build bridges between cultures through education, community projects, and integration support, because every connection starts with a conversation.
