It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Online Application & Supporting Documents: Applications are submitted online by creating an account in the online application platform. The account allows forms to be completed, progress saved, and form history printed. Supporting documents must be uploaded within the platform, including the student applicant photo, photos of parents/guardians, photo page of the student passport, birth certificate, two years of school reports (compressed into a single PDF), standardized test scores when applicable, high school transcript for grades 10–12, and any diagnostic/psycho-educational reports if relevant. 2. Application Fee Payment: A non-refundable application fee accompanies each application and is separate from tuition. The fee is 400 USD or 4,000 Moroccan Dirhams. If living in Morocco, Attijariwafa Bank details are provided; if living outside Morocco, BMCI Convertible Bank details are provided. 3. Language Survey: Complete the RAS Language Survey; the responses will be shared with the English Language Department to determine if English language support is needed. The survey helps identify the level of language assistance required for the applicant. 4. School Confidential Recommendations: Elementary applicants (Kindergarten–Grade 5) download and complete Part 1 of the form, have it completed by the teacher, and send it directly to the Admissions Office with school stamps. For KG and Grades 1–5, specific recommendation forms are provided. Secondary students (Grades 6–12) require confidential recommendations from Administration, Math, and English teachers to be completed, signed, and sent to the Admissions Office with school stamps. 5. Review & Decision: Admission and grade placement are finalized after reviewing the complete application, school reports, confidential recommendations, the application fee payment, any applicable admission assessments, and parent/learner interviews. Age-group specific assessments determine appropriate placement. Admission decisions are communicated by May 1 via official email, and acceptance requires confirmation within five working days. Admission aims to provide an American-style education in English, primarily for students without a national schooling option in Rabat; priority is given in this order: Official U.S. dependents; dependents of U.S. citizens; dependents of officials with third-country diplomatic corps or similar; dependents of other third-country nationals who meet language requirements or have prior English-language program enrollment; host country nationals previously enrolled in English-language programs; other students who meet the needs.
