Who manages The Moroccan School?
The School is managed by a council consisting of teachers and voluntary parents. All decisions are made in consultation with the members of this council. It is important to mention that the school fees, the only source of income for the School, are only used to pay the wages of the professors, to cover the administrative expenditures of the School, to buy the teaching and audio-visual materials, and to subsidize extra-curricular activities. The School does not profit from any external financial support. The only supporters are the parents.

What is the nature of the placement test?
The placement test is simply used to determine the level of the pupil to be able to put him or her in the appropriate class. For those who do not know the language, they will automatically be placed as beginners and enrolled in the first year classes. It is enough for parents to inform us of the beginning level of their children at the time of registration to avoid using the placement test.

What kind of program is used at the school?
In giving courses of Arabic and Moroccan culture, the Moroccan School uses programs in conformity with those of the Ministry for the National Education of Morocco (1-5), while taking account of the specificity of the clientele concerned and its educational needs. Each program has its goals and its objectives (general, intermediate and final) that the teachers must scrupulously respect in their teaching and their lesson plans (teaching by objectives). To achieve its goals, the Moroccan School uses Moroccan teaching materials approved by the Ministry for the National Education of Morocco.

-
What is the methodology used at the school?
The establishment of new reform in educations and the use of our new
textbook require a suitable methodology. Considering the North-American
context, the teaching direction of the School chose the application of
modern methods employed in second language teaching (e.g. communicative approach) and
appropriate teaching strategies (e.g. co-operative learning) in order to make Arabic language learning
more
interesting and stimulating.
