What is Week Without Walls?
Week Without Walls is the Rabat American School’s outdoor learning experience offered to
students in the Middle School. The excursions were an annual event prior to the introduction
of the Moroccan Studies program in 1987. WWW was successfully introduced in 2001.
The 2009 Week Without Walls is a program which is fully linked to the Middle School

The students will:
• Learn to cooperate in group situations with their peers and adult supervisors.
• Acquire a deeper understanding and appreciation for Moroccan Society and culture.
• Gain an increased sense of independence and responsibility.
