This year’s Lower School (LS) Student Council is run by student class representatives who strive to hear the voices of their classmates and bring their ideas and concerns to the Student Council where they act on them. The LS Student Council is primarily responsible for communication between students and faculty, orchestrating school events, and raising funds for school events and helping those in need.

The Lower School Environmental Club works in conjunction with the Upper School Environmental Club. Together, students work on several exciting projects that involve reducing consumption, recycling paper and plastic, and spreading awareness. The main goal of this club is to nurture earth-conscious citizens who are passionate about helping make Casablanca American School and the local community around us more green and more sustainable. 

The purpose of the Art&Animals Club is to get involved with the CAS animal community (dogs and cats in front and back of school) and its supporters while raising awareness on different issues on all animals – domestic, farm, wildlife and marine life. Our goal is, through art that the students create themselves, to make some solid impact on those on and off campus, whether it is to educate the unaware, provide some sort of outlet for the love many hold for animals, and raise money for vaccinations, sterilizations, and food for the animals of Casablanca American School.

Junior CorpsAfrica (JCA) members work with CorpsAfrica volunteers to learn about the volunteers’ host communities and projects, which are typically in rural Morocco. JCA members meet CorpsAfrica volunteers, correspond with them, and visit them in their host communities. This gives JCA members the opportunity to appreciate the challenges and logistics of development work. This year’s cohort of CorpsAfrica volunteers have been posted to villages in the Toubkal National Park area of the High Atlas mountain range.

People 2 People (P2P) is a volunteering club at CAS that gives students a platform to help others both in and out of our school community. This includes weekend trips to widen students’ perspectives and nurture their empathy, fundraisers to help larger philanthropic projects move forward, food and clothing drives to donate to people in need, local beach clean-ups, and gratitude lunches to give back to support staff in our own school. On a smaller scale, students bring forth their own volunteer project ideas and are given support and guidance to make them a reality. On a larger scale, P2P is also finishing its multi-year project of constructing a multi-functional building in a village in the Atlas mountains.

Model United Nations (MUN) is an after school organization for grades 9-12 that meets weekly throughout the school year. Students who participate in MUN must meet rigorous academic and behavior standards in addition to completing an interview process. MUN's goal is to provide students a space to understand ongoing international challenges and debate these issues with others. Specifically, students simulate committees at the United Nations by representing a particular country on a particular topic. CAS MUN students have the opportunity to participate in both local and international MUN conferences organized by other schools.
