Casa American School has an excellent reputation and I wouldn't think of putting my kids anywhere else. The teachers there are true educators and have a great amount of experience. I have been very happy there. The school is about 95% Moroccan because many wealthy Moroccans send their kids there. The school does not provide transportation, so the Consulate brings the kids to and from school. - Apr 2010
Two American-based curriculum schools offer instruction in English, the Casablanca American School and the George Washington Academy. CAS is an accredited facility while GWA is not. Generally speaking, consulate staff have been pleased with the academic approach at CAS. Some families have expressed concern about social pressures at CAS. A few years ago, several employees removed their kids from CAS due to harassment at the school. Since then, a new director has come in and tried to improve the social dynamics. At GWA, some families have complained that math and science instruction are not on par with U.S. standards. - Mar 2008
