Our Mission

The Bayyinah Dream Program is a full-time, 9-month Arabic intensive located in Irving, Texas, USA. It is the most comprehensive and rigorous Arabic and Quran program offered by Bayyinah.

The Dream program takes place at the Dream campus in Euless, TX.

Class hours are between 8am – 2pm from Monday – Thursday and 8am-12:30pm on Friday.
There is no class on Saturday and Sunday.

Currently, the Dream program is not available outside the US, although we may consider expansion to other locations in the future Inshallah.

We understand that everyone has different goals and motivations for studying Arabic. However, the Dream program is not a weekend seminar. It is a 9-month intensive program designed for students who are dedicated, mature, serious, sincere and studious. Know your commitment level. Studying 6 hours a day for 9 months is not easy. Students need to understand the rigorous nature of the program.

Students should be at least 18 years of age or older.
Certain exceptions are made for qualified applicants under the age of 18. This normally means they are a Hafidh of the Qur’an or have some Arabic studies background and will be living with their parents or a guardian during the program.

The Dream program is designed to get students from little to no Quran comprehension to about ~90% Quran Comprehension over the course of 9-months. Along with this, students reach an intermediate level comprehension when reading contemporary and classical Arabic texts.

International students are welcome to apply to Dream. In order to confirm admission, international students must provide proof of being able to reside in the United States for the duration of the program by June 30th. In addition, all students must pay a deposit of $1,750 prior to confirmation of their seat. At this time, Dream is unable to assist students in obtaining student visas.

Bayyinah currently does not offer any financial aid or scholarships.

We encourage students to reach out to their local communities and masjid for scholarships and sponsorship. Many communities are eager to invest in serious students who will be able to return and be an asset and activist for positive change in their communities. Some of our students have also been successful in fundraising via campaigns through online crowdfunding services such as LaunchGood and GoFundMe.

Additionally, local and national Islamic organizations such as ICNA, ISNA, and MAS etc. may offer scholarships for students seeking Islamic knowledge. We encourage applicants to contact these and similar organizations to inquire about their scholarship opportunities.

The Dream Program is currently not accredited. We are in the process of applying for accreditation.
Students seeking credits are advised to contact their high school/university administration to discuss receiving credit for successful completion of the Dream program. 
Additionally, Dream Graduates will be equipped to take the ACTFL language tests. Some schools/universities may provide credit for students who successfully complete the ACTFL language tests (ACTFL http://www.actfl.org/ is the American Council on The Teaching of Foreign Languages).

No, Bayyinah does not offer any kind of student housing. Students relocating to the area for Dream will be responsible for their own living arrangements.

Yes. Public transportation is not readily available in Dallas, which makes things like getting groceries incredibly difficult without having a car. If you do not have a car, you should arrange to live with someone who does and work it out ahead of time.

In addition to the regular class hours, students can expect to spend a minimum of 1-2 hours daily on homework. In addition, studying for the weekly exams can sometimes take 2-4 hours outside of class.

There are no official restrictions, but students who worked on the side in previous years found it extremely challenging to manage work along with their studies. The Dream program is intense. It is highly recommended to not work during the course of the program.
Certain students may be able to work part-time on the weekends if they are able to keep up with their coursework.

A laptop or computer is required to be able to maintain and receive contact/assignments from staff and fellow students. Students should also bring their own Mushaf for Quran memorization and Tajweed.

To ensure a comfortable learning environment for all students, children may not be in the classroom while class is in session. Additionally, minors (i.e. anyone below the age of 18) may not be left unsupervised on campus at any time. 
Bayyinah does not offer childcare options on campus. Parents are responsible for arranging childcare for their children during the school day.
