Sudanese School Belfast

المدرسة السودانية ببلفاست

A welcoming weekend school teaching children Arabic, English and Islamic studies — and connecting them to their Sudanese, Arab and Islamic heritage in a friendly community of peers.

Who we are

Learning, faith and belonging — every weekend

The Sudanese School Belfast teaches the children of the Sudanese and wider Arab community, and all families in Northern Ireland, an Arabic-language and Islamic-studies curriculum for the primary stage. We help children grow in language, knowledge and identity while making friends who share their roots.

What we teach

A curriculum built around your child

Arabic Language

Reading, writing and speaking Arabic — from first letters to confident comprehension, taught in a structured, age-appropriate way.

Islamic Studies

Qur’an, the foundations of faith and good character (akhlaq) — nurturing a love of Islam in a gentle, encouraging environment.

English Support

Confidence in English alongside Arabic, so children thrive at their day school and move easily between both languages.

Why families choose us

More than a classroom

Weekend classes

Convenient weekend timetable that fits around your child’s regular school week.

Caring teachers

Dedicated, community-minded teachers who know every child by name.

Safe & welcoming

A warm, secure space where children feel they belong and parents feel at ease.

Friends & community

Children socialise with peers who share their language, faith and heritage.

Our mission is to connect our children to their Islamic, Arabic and Sudanese traditions — and to give them a community of friends to grow up with.
