Moving to Casablanca with kids

14 years ago

Hello, my husband has been offered a job in Casablanca and we will be moving in June or July. We are "older" parents - husband is in his early 50's and I am in my early 40's and our children are young (8yrs, 6 yrs, and 4 yrs).

As it happens my husband and I came to Casa a few weeks ago to look at homes and schools for the chldren (the contract is for 2 years but is renewable). I sadly didn't have the best of experiences but this was mostly because my husband went to work every day and I was alone in the hotel without any real contacts or other people that I could hang out with or see the area etc...

However, after much deliberation we have decided to take the plunge and the family will all be there in June or July.

I wasn't able to really figure out where we wished to live -- long story but the realtor wasn't familiar with the CAS school or where to find other english speaking expats etc... So, I feel that my house hunting was not very fruitful.

We decided on CAS school in Californie but I am not wild about the area. Can someone tell me more about the areas that have a high percentage of english speakers (american, canadian, british, morroccan or french that speak english too). I was told about Dar Bouazza but I am not sure how far it would be from the CAS school (for my chidlren's afternoon commute home).
Any and all help and info would be greatly appreciated and welcomed!!
