General questions
Our programmes are designed for children aged 5 and up as well as for adults, with courses and groups tailored to each age range and level.
Yes. Enrolment is open all year round, subject to the places available in each class.
As a school, we work on the basis of the full school year to ensure teaching continuity:
Annual commitment: enrolment commits you for the whole school year, from September until the end of June. This annual commitment also applies to any enrolment made during the year.
Summer period: summer courses (July and August) are optional and left to the family's choice.
Before classes begin, a quick placement test (or a conversation with our teaching team) is carried out to place your child in the group best suited to their skills (beginner, intermediate or advanced). A level test is also possible if needed.
Classes are held live (video-conference) in small groups to encourage speaking and personalised support from the teacher.
Yes, absolutely. In addition to the main programme, we offer enrichment modules for learning the Quran, religious education or improving languages… These options allow a personalised learning path.
Currently, no. We focus on our distance-learning expertise. However, we do not rule out offering in-person solutions in the future to complement our offer.
We rely on transparency and closeness:
Platform & app: regular monitoring through our dedicated space.
Direct contact: an internal chat to communicate with the teacher.
Administration: our team remains fully at your disposal for any question.
Yes, throughout the year and to ensure complete monitoring, each student receives an attendance certificate, detailed termly reports and a full pedagogical progress review at the end of the school year.
For the sake of simplicity, we keep purchases to the strict minimum.
Supplies: no list needs to be prepared at enrolment. A precise, tailored list will be communicated directly by the teacher during the first class.
Exclusive textbooks: we use our own specialised textbooks. They are strictly reserved for our students and may not be distributed or shared externally.
As our students live in different countries, the Lyamamatayn school relies on its own teaching calendar specially designed to suit our international community. It offers families a structured, predictable framework throughout the year, with a rhythm designed for distance learning and flexible timing adjusted, as far as possible, according to your country of residence.
Arabic
Before classes begin, a quick placement test (or a conversation with our teaching team) is carried out to place your child in the group best suited to their skills (beginner, intermediate or advanced). A level test is also possible if needed.
Absolutely! Our beginner programmes are designed especially for non-Arabic-speaking children. Teachers use fun, progressive methods to make learning easier from the very first sessions.
Arabic is a living language that requires regular practice, particularly for a non-Arabic-speaking audience. Two sessions per week are the essential minimum to train the ear to its sounds, encourage speaking and guarantee real progress. Our teaching experience shows that this rhythm of two hours per week is the key to achieving lasting results.
Quran
Our teachers hold diplomas and certifications in several readings (Riwayat), notably Hafs, Qalun and Warsh.
It is a world-renowned method that allows learners to assimilate nearly 95% of Tajwid rules in a practical way. It offers a double advantage: learning to read the Arabic language while learning to read the Quran, since all its examples are drawn directly from the Quran. It is a fun and effective method, a real « gymnastics » for the tongue that helps correct and refine pronunciation quickly. Our Nourania classes are taught by teachers certified in this method, as well as by an instructor who graduated from the Furqan Centre in Jeddah.
Depending on the student's needs, Tajwid classes can be taught 100% in French, 100% in Arabic, or bilingually (Arabic and French).
Live by video-conference, in small groups to encourage exchange and personalised support for each student. The pace and structure of the session adapt to the type of class (memorisation and revision, Tajwid, Nourania method and reading). For adult classes, turning on the camera is up to the student, but it remains strongly recommended to make pronunciation correction easier and ensure optimal immersion.
Islamic education
Depending on the student's needs, Religion classes can be taught 100% in French, 100% in Arabic, or bilingually (Arabic and French).
Classes are delivered by qualified, serious and experienced teachers, several of whom hold an Ijazah. We apply a strict selection process: we do not recruit any beginner profiles. All our teachers have proven teaching experience and certified skills to ensure high-quality teaching.
Our programmes cover the pillars of faith (Aqida), the rules of jurisprudence (everyday Fiqh), ethics and good manners (Akhlaq), as well as the biography of the Prophet (Sira), all in a progressive way suited to the students' age.
Exclusive, tailored materials: we develop our own teaching materials, carefully designed for each age range — fun and appealing for children, suited to teenagers and structured for adults.
Reference texts: the classes draw directly on the Quran, the Sunnah as well as recognised works and treatises (Moutoun).
Careful translation: all content is translated and adapted by qualified teachers to make understanding easier.
Live by video-conference, in small groups to encourage exchange and personalised support for each student. For adult classes, turning on the camera is optional but strongly recommended.
Tunisian programme
LYAMAMATAYN is a legally registered and accredited establishment in Tunisia. Official procedures are currently underway to obtain its approval as the country's first online school. In the meantime, we offer distance pedagogical support within the framework of home education, under the legal responsibility of the parents.
Yes, each student receives an attendance certificate, a detailed termly report and a pedagogical progress review. These documents are valuable tools to support the child's level during official tests (e.g. the Mandoubia test in Tunisia).
We offer mock exams and guided revision to ensure their full success. To sit the exams as an independent candidate, the student must generally be administratively attached to a recognised establishment. Our rigorous preparation greatly facilitates this transition.
Yes. Our students have been accepted by the Ministries of Education in Qatar and Saudi Arabia thanks to our report cards. They were able to join in-person schools without dropping a level, moving straight to the next grade.
It is a programme for future expatriates: we explain to parents how the Tunisian system works and we prepare the student with the academic and linguistic basics (literary Arabic and dialect) so they feel at ease as soon as they arrive in Tunisia.
No, that is not enough. The Tunisian programme is intensive. We advise planning 1, 2 or even 3 years ahead of your return. The earlier you enrol your child, the more you avoid them losing a year on arrival. Take advantage of our flexible schedule to start the preparation right now (Wednesdays, weekends and after school hours).
Yes, absolutely. We welcome students of all levels, from complete beginner (level 0) to advanced levels. Each child benefits from a programme tailored to their real knowledge.
