High School Study Abroad in Rabat, Morocco

Immerse yourself in the rich Moroccan culture and grow your Arabic skills. Make strides in your Arabic with four weeks of language immersion in Rabat, the capital of Morocco. After Arabic classes (in both Darija and Modern Standard Arabic), dive into lively conversations with locals in the medina (the ancient part of the city) and at souks (traditional markets). Meet local teens on visits to iconic landmarks, such as the Chellah ruins, the majestic Hassan Tower, or the 12th-century Kasbah of the Udayas. Sip on aromatic mint tea, savor fresh and flavorful food, and take in sweeping ocean views at cafés just like a local. Experience authentic everyday life at your homestay, taking in the rhythms and customs of Morocco and building your language fluency. On excursions, venture to the enchanting “Blue Pearl” of Chefchaouen and to the cinematic cities of Casablanca and Tangier. Each day, in different ways, you’ll discover the enduring strengths of Morocco’s open and progressive society, which has been a crossroads for African, Middle Eastern, and European civilizations for centuries.
