Morocco Services
CGA English School | Rabat, Morocco
This will be our 10th year working in Morocco. Our School serves children from the old medina in Rabat, the capital city of Morocco. We walk through one of Morocco’s oldest outdoor markets every day on our way to school and often run into our students in the streets. The English school we host includes children from middle school-young adults in 3-4 classrooms, with 10-15 students per classroom. The dedication they show on a daily basis will change the way you look at your own opportunities, simply just to go to school. You will also have a new appreciation for your own teachers and the work that they do. There are very few experiences that are as rewarding as this one!
The illiteracy rate in Morocco is sky high, and this school struggles with a high drop-out rate, a mandated curriculum that the teachers don’t believe in, and not enough staff to cover the basic needs of school. This is where we come in! We bring life back into learning and watch them grow every day.
Our volunteers will be continuing to implement the ESL program for this school that we set up and will be teaching daily, participating in home visits, and uncovering the mystery and misunderstandings that lie deep within this complicated country. The home visits will show you the meaning of hospitality, with an incredible opportunity to learn about the struggles and strength among the people in Morocco.
