Description

Learning Arabic abroad in Fez, Morocco is one of many language immersion programs offered by AmeriSpan. Morocco is located on the westernmost tip of North Africa, bordering Algeria to the east, and the Mediterranean to the north. Running through the middle of the country is the Atlas mountain range, which leads to the fertile plains and sandy beaches of the Atlantic coast. Morocco's identity has been carved from African, European and Middle Eastern influences.

Learn Arabic Language in Morocco:
The hospitable, historic city of Fez, known as Morocco's "intellectual Capital", provides a unique ambiance for studying Arabic in North Africa. The most ravishing and mystical of Morocco's imperial cities, Fez was founded in 808 A.D. Fez became the capital and spiritual center of Morocco and is situated in a valley and positioned on the old crossroads of caravan routes. Fez remained a commercial center for much of its history. It is still considered Morocco's premier religious city by virtue of its great Islamic traditions.

School Facilities: A large Moorish-style villa surrounded by an oasis-like setting of date palms, olive trees and rosemary shrubs. Library, video, snack bar, and good classrooms are all amenities this school has to offer. This tranquil residential neighborhood is only a 5 minute walk from downtown, restaurants, cafes, etc. The student residence is in a beautiful villa across the road from the school, with a large garden and splendid view of the Medina (old city).

Participants: International mixture, many are Europeans with some North American students.

Other: Those wanting to stay in school residence should register for classes only. Upon arrival, need to pay school about USD 90-USD 100/week (if space is available). If no availability in student residence, school can arrange a family or recommend other alternatives.

AmeriSpan Study Abroad's Mission Statement

Our mantra is "Every Language, Every Culture, Everywhere." AmeriSpan Study Abroad has over 15 years experience and over 30,000 past participants. Our staff has three passions: language, culture, and travel. Individually and as a group, we have accumulated experiences and knowledge related to these passions. AmeriSpan's staff has traveled to more than 65 countries, every continent except Antarctica, speak 10 languages, and we are happy to share this enormous amount of relevant knowledge with you. Every staff member has studied and/or lived abroad for extended periods of time. We are neither a language school nor a travel agent, we're a hybrid of the two: a language travel organization. AmeriSpan has evaluated hundreds of schools, host families and destinations to determine which programs to offer, and our independence allows us to give you unbiased evaluations of these programs. Our pledge to our participants is to make going abroad 'worry-free'. There is no risk in choosing an AmeriSpan program because you'll get the best program, best price and can cancel for any reason and get a full refund on every dollar we have received for your program.
