Greetings, Marhaba, Bonjour, and Welcome to Rabat American School!

For over sixty years, Rabat American School has stood as a pillar of international education and excellence, in Morocco, North Africa, and globally. We offer a rigorous, university-preparatory curriculum for students from Pre-K through Grade 12, with pathways that include the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme and the American high school diploma. These pathways are carefully designed to support students’ growth from elementary through high school, helping them thrive at universities worldwide and pursue their aspirations.

At RAS, we are driven by our mission to engage students in real-world learning, empower them to take meaningful action, and foster a sense of belonging and personal growth. Whether through the arts, athletics, service projects, Week Without Walls experiences or community leadership, our students are inspired to connect classroom knowledge with global impact.

With small class sizes, dedicated and accomplished teachers, and inspiring learning spaces — including state-of-the-art labs, a library, art and music studios, an auditorium, and athletic facilities — we are committed to personalized learning and academic exploration. We empower students with the skills they need to excel in an ever-changing world. We maintain rigorous international accreditation and continuously evolve through strategic planning to ensure that all students are challenged at the highest levels and well-prepared for future success.

Grounded in over six decades of community, the heritage of Rabat American School is proudly multinational, multicultural, and multilingual. We believe that dynamic, diverse learners flourish together in a supportive environment strengthened by strong home-school partnerships. Our students represent more than 50 nationalities, supported by a dedicated faculty of 65 educators from around the globe. Our Board emphasizes governance that promotes respect, curiosity, and collaboration, ensuring every student feels safe, included, and valued as part of our community.

Our beautiful oceanfront campus, inspired by traditional Moroccan riads, is designed to foster curiosity, creativity, and connection. With ongoing campus development and a strategic commitment to innovation, Rabat American School continues to grow as a leader in global education.

As the Director, I am honored to invite prospective families, partners, and friends to reach out and set up an appointment or explore who we are — a vibrant, inclusive, and academically rigorous school community in Morocco’s capital.
