Our academic year begins in September and ends in July. The academic calendar is posted in advance but is subject to revision, due to changing religious holidays and local school calendars. Upcoming ALC holidays are posted on ALC Rabat’s Facebook and Instagram pages and on posters near the center’s entrance.
We make every effort to create a modified schedule for Ramadan that is satisfactory to everyone, and we will support any student who needs additional travel time.
