Title: News Article: Arabic School in New York City
Body: From http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/13/nyregion/13schools.html?_r=1&oref=slogin A New School Plans to Teach Half of Classes Using Arabic By ELISSA GOOTMAN February 13, 2007 The New York City school system will open its first public school dedicated to teaching the Arabic language and culture in September, with half of its classes eventually taught in Arabic, officials said yesterday. The school, the Khalil Gibran International Academy, is one of 40 new schools that the Department of Education is opening for the 2007-8 school year. It will serve grades 6 to 12 and will be in Brooklyn, although a specific location has not been determined. Debbie Almontaser, a 15-year veteran of the school system who is the driving force behind the school and will be its principal, said that ideally, the school would serve an equal mix of students with backgrounds in Arabic language and culture and those without such backgrounds.
