Educational Director (M/F) - Oujda

Company :

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

Why join Afdal's educational team:

• An educational 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. Around thirty people make up the educational team: you have a real impact within the group, not a role lost in a large organization.
• A school that is moving forward. The institution is engaged in a strong development dynamic - a supportive environment for those who wish to grow with the school over the long term.
• A learning environment for students that combines educational quality and safety, a School Group with 36 classrooms built specifically for teaching on a 3,570 m² site, renovated for the 26-27 school year, and a new school transport fleet.

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