Rabat American School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rabat American School is a private institution located in Rabat, Morocco. It was founded in 1962 as a K-8 School and originally functioned in a villa located near the United States Embassy. In 1969, the growing school moved to a 8-acre site in the suburb of Agdal. By 1978, grades 9 through 12 had been added and in 1985 the school was accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools in the United States.^{[citation needed]} The Rabat American School offers a college preparatory program, including the International Baccalaureate, from Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade.

It includes organizations such as National Honor Society and the National Junior Honor Society which contribute to the local Moroccan society through fund-raising or community service.^{[citation needed]}
