This study adopts the analytical descriptive research method, by describing the curriculum of teaching Arabic to students of the high school at the Islamic Centre Bin Baz from its objectives, teaching materials, teaching methods, teaching media, and evaluation, then the researcher mentioned the positive and negative aspects of this approach. The study proved that the curriculum for teaching Arabic language for high school students at the Islamic Centre Bin Baz in Jogjakarta uses the Arabic language curriculum in religious or Islamic institutes, which did not use modern methods much in its education and used the grammar and translation method, the lecture method, and the method of memorization. As for the positive aspects of the Arabic language teaching curriculum for students of the high school at the Islamic Centre Bin Baz, we find them in its teaching and evaluation materials, while the negative aspects are found in its teaching methods, the prescribed books and the means of teaching it. The findings imply that the institution needs to (1) write its teaching objectives in the curriculum book, (2) complement grammar-translation, lecture, and memorization with audio-oral and communicative practice, especially for speaking, (3) update its prescribed books and introduce modern media such as projectors, and (4) revise its in-house dictionary so that it uses formal Indonesian. For other Islamic institutes, these results can serve as a checklist for designing or evaluating an Arabic language curriculum.
