Discover ASB
Welcome
On behalf of our community of learners, we are delighted to welcome you to the American School of Ben Guerir (ASB). ASB was founded in 2019 as the result of a partnership of the American School of Tangier and University Mohammed VI Polytechnic (UM6P). The American School of Ben Guerir is a branch of the American School of Tangier, and is a sister school to the American School of Marrakesh, which are listed in the Bilateral Treaty on Education between the United States and Morocco regulating American educational institutions operating in Morocco.
The current enrollment of the American School of Ben Guerir is over 250 students of a variety of backgrounds and nationalities. Our sprawling and modern campus has two main buildings, the Lower School which houses the Preschool and the Elementary School, and the Upper School, which houses the Middle School and the High School.

ASB offers an immersive American educational experience under the rubric of Common Core standards, with a high emphasis on English fluency. ASB’s academic program features core subjects of language arts, mathematics, science and history/social studies. Additionally, ASB offers foreign languages, computer science, physical education and arts and music.
In elementary school, ASB challenges our students to excel in Mathematics and English through the i-Ready curriculum and learn across its many platforms to create predictable and scalable. Additionally in the elementary school, ASB offers the award winning InspireScience curriculum which pairs hands-on experiments with textbook learning for deeper mastery.

Students are encouraged to select from AP Biology, AP Environmental Science, AP Pre-Calculus, AP Computer Science Principles, AP French, AP American History, AP Human Geography and AP World History. We are preparing our graduates to attend universities of their choice in the United States, in the United Kingdom, in Europe, in Canada, in Morocco and other countries.
Our on campus student support department offers student support and school counseling to help students achieve their academic and behavioral goals.

ASB grade levels are defined according to the American school system and grade placements are set according to student proficiency and age, as determined by the ASB administration. Our grade levels start in preschool for students 2 ½ years old through high school for students up to 18 years old.
At ASB, learning goes beyond the classroom. Extracurricular and co-curricular activities enrich the ASB educational experience.

Additionally, ASB offers ExtraC’s an afternoon program featuring fun activities for its elementary and upper school students.
