Welcome to Secondary School
Welcome to RAS!
I am thrilled to be joining Rabat American School, serving as the Secondary School Principal. I am drawn to RAS because of the tight community feel that is felt upon entering the gates and the same tight feeling also reverberates beyond the walls of the campus. Our faculty is top-notch and ready to support each student on their journey to adulthood via academics, after-school clubs and social-emotional development.
“Anything’s possible, if you’ve got the nerve!” J.K. Rowling’s words resonate with the nurturing of character in each student. RAS provides opportunities in and out of class for students to test themselves in a safe, supportive environment to reach the point where they have the “nerve”, the wherewithal, the means to achieve their goals in life.
Developing student characters is aptly supported within the RAS Mission:
Engage in real-world learning opportunities.
Empower learners to take action.
Foster belonging and personal growth.
We are a community of dynamic, diverse, authentic learners - thriving together to lift each community member to the next level and be ready for the world. We learn a great deal via examining history. When looking at the social and cultural revolutions of the 1960s, the economic or political crisis of the 1970s and 1980s or the technological revolution of this not so new century - the theme is how do we prepare ourselves for the unknown? At RAS, we ready our students for the unknown by focusing on developing essential skills in problem-solving, creativity, collaboration and critical thinking, to name a few, so RAS students are ready for the challenges in front of us.
I am inspired by the many possibilities that lie ahead for each student. I invite you to join us in this exciting journey where we work with each student to reach their dreams.
Warm Wishes,
Robert Doyle
Secondary School Principal
