CONCERNING YOUR CLASSES IN RAMADAN IN RIWAQ Al AZHAR
- It is highly preferable for you to continue your Quran and Arabic classes in Ramadan.
- If you stop your classes in Ramadan, during the feast vacation, and on your summer holidays, you may forget what you have already studied, lose your schedule, and most probably lose your tutor.
- There will be some changes in the schedules which overlap with your teachers’ timings of breaking their fasting, suhoor and Taraweeh prayers.
- Don’t worry; we will avoid conducting your classes during your timings of breaking your fasting and Taraweeh prayers. Moreover, you can ask your tutor to minimize your homework in Ramadan.
- According to Riwaq Al Quran’s policy, if it is a must for you to excuse and stop your classes in Ramadan you have to inform us two weeks before Ramadan, and if you want to keep your same schedule with your same tutor after the vacation, Half of the monthly fee has to be paid.
CLASS QUALITY
- In order to ensure that we offer high quality classes, some lessons may be recorded for review by the Riwaq Al Quran administration.
– The recorded lessons are only for use by the administration/supervisors, so that we can regularly check the quality of the classes and the teachers.
– For quality purposes, supervisors may enter the classroom to observe the class. For female students, the supervisor will be a female.
- Sessions may not be recorded – audio or video – by students for any reason. This is to protect the privacy of the teachers.
PUBLIC HOLIDAYS
Riwaq Al Quran strives to keep the institute open year-round, with the exception of two significant holidays that are observed by all teachers, staff, and the majority of our students. The two holidays are Eid Ul-Fitr and Eid Ul-Adha, and the institute will be closed for three days and five days, respectively. Due to the number of enrolled students, and similar to other tuition-based schools, tuition will not be credited or refunded for these two holidays. We at Riwaq Al Quran appreciate your understanding, and we appreciate having you as students!
