GWA is the only American International School in Morocco offering the IB Diploma, AP Classes, and an American Diploma recognized by the Kingdom of Morocco. Our five-hectare, purpose-built facility is located on the southern edge of Casablanca’s city limits heading toward Dar Bouazza. The campus, situated a little over one kilometer from the Atlantic Ocean, features beautiful views of the ocean and stunning sunsets over the water.

Core Values are the guiding principles for the characteristics sought in teaching candidates. GWA prefers to hire teachers with a minimum of 3 years of experience and who have a degree in the subject matter taught.
With a cool coastal climate year-round, proximity to African and European Wonders of the World, and an enviable amount of American and national vacation time, it is easy to achieve a work-life balance at GWA. Many of our teachers and staff come to Casablanca for the sun and surf, mountain-climbing, and other travel opportunities. No matter what attracts each individual to come to Casablanca, everyone can agree that the easy pace of life, incredible Moroccan cuisine, and friendly community are great reasons to stay. We seek teachers who enjoy discovery both inside and outside of the classroom.
