ABOUT ALTIBYAN ARABIC SCHOOL-SHEFFIELD
In the UK today, many Arab and Muslim children grow up speaking English as their primary language, while their connection to Arabic gradually becomes limited to a few words used at home. As generations grow, many families begin to notice a widening language and cultural gap between parents and children.

At Al Tibyan Arabic School, we believe that teaching Arabic is not only about learning a language — it is about preserving identity, strengthening communication within families, and helping children grow with confidence in both their British and Arab-Muslim identity.

Our aim is to provide a professional, welcoming, and engaging environment where children can learn:• Arabic language• Quran recitation• Islamic values and character• Confidence in communication and cultural identity

We understand that many parents may not have the time, resources, or teaching experience to provide structured Arabic education at home. For this reason, Al Tibyan Arabic School was established to support families and offer high-quality Arabic and Islamic education in a safe and organised environment.

We aspire to raise a generation that is confident, respectful, academically motivated, and strongly connected to its language, faith, and heritage — while making a positive contribution to British society.
The word “Al Tibyan” (التبيان) comes from the Arabic root meaning clarity, explanation, and making things understood. It reflects the idea of presenting knowledge in a clear, structured, and meaningful way.

At Al Tibyan Arabic School, the name represents our mission to help children understand and connect with:
   * The Arabic language
   * The Qur’an
   * Islamic values
   * Their cultural identity

Through clear teaching, gradual learning, and a supportive environment, we aim to build confidence, understanding, and strong foundations for every child.
