In 2012, Austin Peace Academy worked alongside the University of Texas at Austin’s Arabic program (one of the top programs in the nation) to revamp and improve the Arabic curriculum at the High School level. At this level students begin to focus on Modern Standard Arabic and master writing, listening, and speech. Upon successful completion of the entire college program students should be able to test out of Arabic and receive credit at the college level. In 2013, an APA graduate completed an exam prior to the start of classes at UT and tested out of Arabic, receiving five credits.
