Access to Arabic education remains a barrier for many Arab children in the host countries as well as in Iceland. The need for a sound, holistic, coordinated and durable approach to launching quality education in the heritage language, Arabic, is thus crucial in the West. Cross-border certification and accreditation of learning programs, coupled with the recognition of institutions providing education, is important to ensure that children educated in one context, particularly refugees, have their certificate of learning recognized and thus rendering it portable.  


 O.M.A.H.A.I Foundation is focusing on delivering education services to refugees. We are focusing on scaling up the provision of quality education for the Arab refugee children in a context of meeting their needs and their right to mother-tongue education.   Because certification is challenging for programs outside any formal system, O.M.A.H.A.I takes a leading role in launching a program of Arabic curricula for Grades K–12  to educate refugee children and assure certification and accreditation of learning the heritage language programs.


In order to enhance the learning experience of our students, O.M.A.H.A.I builds educational partnerships with prominent institutions across the globe. Our current association with the New South Wales Education Standard Authority in Australia and ACTFL Assessment of Performance Toward Proficiency in Languages (AAPPL) in the USA strengthens our program with academic rigor and diverse perspectives. O.M.A.H.A.I is licensed to offer K–12 Arabic syllabus designed by the New South Wales Education Standards Authority in Australia to the refugee children in Iceland.   The students receive formal certificates from O.M.A.H.A.I at the end of the year with the following statement "This course was developed based on the <syllabus> from the New South Wales Education Standards Authority, Australia."
