Arabic & Middle Eastern Studies
A Guided Study of Today's Middle East
Unique among American secondary schools, the Arabic and Middle Eastern Studies (AMES) program unites intensive linguistic study of Modern Standard Arabic with courses on the literature and cultures of the Middle East. In addition to language studies, this interdisciplinary program offers students a unique perspective on this fascinating region through guided study of the history, art, architecture of the classical Arab world, and the history and politics of today’s Middle East.
