Our instructional continuum begins with a holistic approach to learning, based on a unique blend of American and Finnish pedagogies and curricula in the primary years, transitioning to the project-based, experiential learning of the American curriculum in the secondary years.

Learning at Dar Essalam American School promotes students' skills in:

A Unique Philosophy:

DAS combines well-being, equity, and creativity with structure and innovation, creating a unique educational experience.

Educator Expectations

Teachers are encouraged to broaden their horizons, adopt innovative practices, and align with the school’s vision and mission, fostering a collaborative and research-driven environment.

Student-Centered Learning:

The blend promotes joy in learning, academic excellence, and holistic growth while preparing students to succeed in a rapidly changing world.

Learning Spaces

Created by the world-renowned American architectural firm, FXCollaborative, in partnership with Omar Alaoui, Morocco’s preeminent architect, the school was designed with modular and agile spaces to offer total flexibility for learning activities.

State-of-the-art spaces include the Black Box Theater, where students have the freedom to explore traditional and alternative performance techniques, express their art in different forms, and organize events; and the Makerspace, a universe dedicated to design, exploration, and experimentation, where learners familiarize themselves with the latest technology equipment.

These specially designed environments for learning and growth provide a link between instruction and interests. Activities are offered and promoted in the areas of athletics, visual arts, music, and theater. Students are also encouraged to pursue new avenues such as community outreach services, student leadership, and mentoring. The intersection of curricular and co-curricular activities are a central part of the extended community at Dar Essalam.
