Understanding what, why, and how parental involvement affects the students’ performance in Arabic language is paramount at any level including the secondary level. This study was thus carried out to determine the influence of parental involvement on academic performance of students of Arabic studies in North Central. Descriptive research design was adopted for this research. Purposive random sampling technique was used to select 25 parents from each of the five selected schools.
