Middlebury School in Morocco
For centuries, Morocco has served as a crossroads of cultures, shaped by the influence of Amazigh (Berber), Arab, African, and European peoples. This rich history of cultural exchange is reflected in the country’s languages, traditions, architecture, and cuisine. Today, Morocco is home to more than 34 million people and is widely recognized as one of the most stable constitutional monarchies in the Arab world. Based in the capital city of Rabat, the Middlebury School in Morocco offers a deeply immersive linguistic and cultural experience through a rigorous academic curriculum and adherence to the Middlebury Language Pledge. By committing to speak only Arabic while abroad, students maximize their opportunities to develop fluency and engage meaningfully with the local community and culture. All coursework is conducted in Arabic and includes advanced language study as well as content-based electives in fields such as North African Studies. Through intensive language practice, academic engagement, and daily interaction in an Arabic-speaking environment, students gain both linguistic proficiency and a deeper understanding of Morocco and the broader region.

Great Homestay
April 13, 2026by: Olivia Giles - United StatesOne of the best parts of my study abroad experience was my homestay. They made sure I had everything I needed and were committed to helping me learn Arabic. They would help me with my homework and provide me with different opportunities to practice my language skills at home.
