PEDAGOGICAL DIRECTOR - Oujda

Company :

The Afdal School Group Oujda was founded in 2006 by its founder, who himself was educated in the French school system in Oujda in the 1950s. His vision was to offer the children of Oujda a bilingual education that would open the doors to personal and professional success. The French-Arabic bilingual school now welcomes students from preschool to baccalaureate level.

Why join the Afdal pedagogical team:

• A pedagogical project, not a commercial franchise. The school exists because its founder wanted to give the children of his city the same opportunities he had.
• A human-sized team. About thirty people make up the pedagogical team: you have a real impact in the group, not a role lost in a large structure.
• A school that is moving forward. The establishment is engaged in a strong development dynamic - a supportive environment for those who want to grow with the school over the long term.
• A place for students combining educational quality and safety, a School Group with 36 classrooms built specifically for teaching on a 3,570 m² plot and renovated for the 26-27 school year, a new school transport fleet.

If you are a teacher, educator, manager, or a member of the pedagogical staff and are looking for an institution with a real history and a clear mission, the Afdal School Group is for you.
