About international schools in Mauritius

Mauritius’s international schools serve a compact, multilingual island market and typically offer a mix of British (Cambridge/IGCSE and A-level), French national and bilingual programmes and the International Baccalaureate at secondary level. English and French are widely used in teaching and school life, while Mauritian Creole is the common spoken language in the community. Annual tuition varies by age and curriculum, with a recent median around MUR 209,843 and most schools clustering between roughly MUR 174,105 and MUR 276,896 a year. The school year runs on a calendar-year basis (January - December) and families should plan for main intakes around January and a mid-year intake in July/August, plus one-off registration, transport and uniform costs on top of tuition.

Admissions & timing

Sought-after schools in Mauritius run waiting lists, so apply early — ideally a term or two ahead. Most admissions involve an application, prior school reports and an assessment or interview, with entry points often tied to the school year.

How doris stays impartial

doris lists every international school in Mauritius we can find — not only those that pay. We take no placement fees and sell no rankings or "top school" spots, so the schools above aren't ordered by who paid most. Details come from the schools' own information and public sources, and you can compare any of them side by side.

FAQs for Mauritius

Which curricula do international schools in Mauritius offer?
You will commonly find British (Cambridge/IGCSE and A-level) programmes, French national-curriculum schools (including schools linked to the French network) and schools offering the International Baccalaureate across primary and secondary phases; some schools offer bilingual pathways or Montessori at the early years. The mix means families can choose on the basis of future university plans, language preference and how portable the curriculum is for return or onward moves.
What language will my child be taught in?
Medium of instruction depends on the school: many international schools teach in English, some in French, and several run bilingual programmes where both languages are used across the day. Outside formal lessons, Mauritian Creole is widely spoken in the community and schools commonly teach both English and French as part of the curriculum.
How much should we budget for tuition and extra costs?
Published fee listings show wide variation by school and year group; a recent typical annual tuition figure is around MUR 209,843, with most schools between roughly MUR 174,105 and MUR 276,896, while a small number of schools publish fees both below and substantially above that band. Expect additional one-off registration or enrolment deposits and recurring extras such as school transport, meals, insurance and uniforms, which together can add several tens of thousands of rupees a year; always request a full fee schedule before committing.
When should we apply and when do schools admit new pupils?
Mauritian schools run on a January - December academic year with primary intakes at the start of the calendar year and many schools offering a mid-year intake around July/August for transfers. Start your enquiries several months ahead of your planned move - popular year groups may have waiting lists and schools usually require documentation, assessments and proof of immunisation.
What should parents check when choosing an international school in Mauritius?
Focus first on curriculum fit (how the programme aligns with your child’s future education plans), the languages taught and the school’s approach to bilingualism or language support for newcomers. Also check formal accreditation or inspection status, sample pupil reports and assessment arrangements, pastoral support and class sizes, plus practical matters such as transport routes, boarding (if offered) and the full fee and withdrawal policy; visit if you can and ask for recent references from other relocating families.
