International School of Morocco

The International School of Morocco is an independent, international day school  in Casablanca following an American-style curriculum with English as the primary language of instruction. We are opening for the 2011-12 school year with classes for 3, 4, and 5-year-olds.

The International School of Morocco prepares students to succeed as responsible global citizens in an ever-changing, increasingly interdependent world. We achieve this through adherence to high standards of academic excellence and a dedication to modeling and promoting principles of respect and integrity.

We offer a rigorous academic program that encourages students to access their own intrinsic enthusiasm for learning through integrated units that are based on student inquiry and an ongoing exploration of the ways in which people communicate and express themselves.

Our well-rounded curriculum offers children opportunities to explore themes and ideas through not only the core subject areas of language arts (reading & writing), math, science, and social studies, but through integrated enrichment subjects as well. Visual arts, music, drama, and physical education nurture each child’s investigation of topics at an even richer level. Strong language programs, for both language learners and native speakers, support English as the primary language of instruction by allowing further opportunities to explore literacy concepts and enhance content knowledge and skills. This multifaceted curriculum enables us to address the learning styles of a wide range of learners, while exploring the important and enduring understanding that we communicate and express ourselves in multiple ways. Indeed, language and communication provide a common thread that unites everything we do, forming the background against which we hope to weave a rich tapestry of learning for our students.

STAFF

Our lead teachers are highly qualified, professionally certified teachers with advanced degrees from leading universities in North America and the United Kingdom. They are native English speakers with backgrounds in international education, and most are multilingual. All teachers are well versed in current educational practices andresearch, and they are committed to continued growth as professionals, engaging in ongoing career development and research. Qualified assistant teachers in each class keep our student to teacher ratios low, so that pupils receive as much teacher support as possible throughout the school day, a must-have for language learners. 

EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY

We set our standards for achievement high, continuously challenging students to achieve their full potential at both the academic and personal level. We value creativity and self-expression as essential elements in the intellectual development of every child. We create a secure and nurturing learning environment where children are inspired to explore, inquire, and experiment. We guide our students to be enthusiastic participants in their own learning, fueled by the intrinsic inquisitive nature of childhood.
