Community and Well-being

Work Hard. Go Home. Recharge.

At AST, we expect everyone to be focused, purposeful, and fully present

during the school day. But we also believe that well-being comes from

respecting boundaries, setting clear expectations, and valuing teachers, staff,

and students as the amazing people they are.

That’s why we embed well-being into the structure of how we work,

not as a bonus, but as a baseline.

A Connected Staff Community

AST has a diverse, open-minded culture. Many staff naturally form dinner

groups, book clubs, walking circles, or take part in weekend travel together.

Whether you’re new to international teaching or bringing years of experience,

you’ll find a strong support network here-and the breathing room to enjoy it.

Most of our teachers form deep friendships and professional connections

within the school. With half the faculty made up of international hires and the

other half from Morocco,

Campus and Facilities

A Place to Teach and Learn

The American School of Tangier sits on a 15-acre campus-making it one

of the most spacious, green, and distinctive educational environments in

the city. While other schools in Tangier are typically confined to urban

blocks, AST offers wide open space, natural light, and room to move,

think, and grow.

Set among trees and gardens, the campus is a place where students and

teachers can focus without distraction-whether learning in a quiet corner,

running across the football pitch, or leading a classroom discussion.

AST’s learning environment supports a

deliberate shift away from over-reliance on

screens. Instead, students engage through

conversation, written work, physical activity,

and face-to-face connection. It's a calm,

grounded place to work and a spacious,

inspiring place to learn.
