George Washington Academy Association has bridged cultures and created educational opportunities since 1994, existing as a foreign non-profit association. It began as Global Coopération Universitaire and was renamed Global Education in December 2001. GWA opened in September 1998 with preschool through 4th grade and a combined 7th/8th grade class. In 2005 it moved to a five-hectare, purpose-built campus just outside Casablanca, featuring two classroom wings with more than sixty classrooms, two science labs, an art room, a multi-purpose auditorium/cafeteria, an 800 m2 library (the largest in Morocco), and computer labs, plus housing for foreign staff. The founder was Jack Rusenko, and the association co-sponsored Morocco's First Internet Days, hosted Semester at Sea visits (1995–2010), and established four annual scholarships in 1996.
The GWA Community section is where connections come to life. It describes welcoming new families, supporting them with resources and guidelines to settle in smoothly, and building partnerships with parents and external organizations to strengthen ties with the broader community. An alumni network keeps graduates connected and sharing their stories, extending the GWA spirit beyond the classroom. External partnerships provide exclusive benefits and enrich opportunities for families, including collaborations with Play & Code Academy, MAD SCIENCE Maroc, Académie de Théâtre Helen O'Grady, Le Petit Champion, GINGA SPORT, and the Association TIBU Maroc.
George Washington Academy is a nonprofit American international IB World School serving Pre-K through high school (ages 3 to 18). The curriculum blends American pedagogy with the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme and Advanced Placement courses. English, French, and Arabic are taught across the grades to support multilingualism and global communication. The school is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and has recognition from the Moroccan Ministry of Education. In Grades 11–12, students may follow three graduation pathways toward a U.S. Diploma, with the IB Diploma Programme forming the foundation for college preparation. The five-hectare campus outside Casablanca features Morocco's largest library, modern technology spaces, a Robotics room, a MakerSpace with a 3-D printer, and a LEGO Innovation Center—the only LEGO Center in Morocco and one of two in Africa. The school participates in MASAC athletics and offers a broad program of after-school activities and clubs, including robotics, arts, and language programs.
