About international schools in Casablanca, Morocco
American-curriculum international schools in Casablanca typically combine US-style elementary and secondary programmes with internationally recognised senior pathways such as the IB Diploma and, at some schools, Advanced Placement options. English is the main language of instruction, while French and Modern Standard Arabic are normally taught as mandatory second languages and many schools promote trilingualism. Annual tuition in the city spans a wide range - families can expect lower-end international fees in the tens of thousands of Moroccan dirhams and higher-end American-curriculum schools charging into the high tens of thousands or more - and most schools also charge non-refundable application and registration fees. The local admissions cycle follows a September - June school year, with main applications opening in the autumn before the school year and many popular year groups operating waiting lists, so relocating families should prepare documents (passport, recent school reports, vaccination/medical forms) and budget for application and enrolment charges in advance.
What qualifications and end-of-school options do American-curriculum schools in Casablanca offer?
Most American-curriculum schools deliver a US-style programme through primary and lower secondary years and then offer recognised senior pathways such as the International Baccalaureate Diploma and, in some schools, Advanced Placement courses or a US high-school diploma. The exact mix varies by school, so check each school’s senior-school programme if you want AP classes, full IB Diploma teaching or multiple graduation pathways.
How much will it cost to send my child to an American international school in Casablanca?
Tuition varies considerably between schools: citywide ranges run from roughly MAD 30,000 at the lower end of the market to well over MAD 100,000 at larger American-curriculum campuses, with some schools publishing annual fees toward the upper end of that band. In addition to tuition, budget for a non-refundable application fee, an acceptance/registration charge at offer stage and routine extras such as uniforms, transport and extracurricular activities.
What languages are used and what language support is available for non-French or non-Arabic speakers?
English is the primary medium of instruction in American-curriculum schools, while French and Modern Standard Arabic are normally taught from the early grades and many schools aim for multilingual outcomes. Schools typically provide English-language learner (EAL/EAL support) assistance and may offer teaching assistants or staged language programmes to help newcomers access the curriculum.
When should we apply and what documents are usually required?
The academic year in Casablanca generally runs September to June and the main admissions cycle opens in the autumn before the new year, though schools accept enquiries year-round and popular year groups can have waiting lists. Prepare a copy of passports, recent school reports or transcripts, vaccination/medical forms, proof of residence and be ready to pay a small non-refundable application fee; some schools also require entrance assessments, teacher recommendations or an interview.
What should a relocating family look for when comparing American schools in Casablanca?
Look at the senior-school qualifications on offer (IB, AP, US diploma), the school’s language provision and support for children new to English, formal accreditation and recognition by international bodies and the Moroccan Ministry of Education, class sizes and pastoral support, and practicalities such as transport, school hours and extra costs. Also ask about transition support for arriving pupils, university counselling if your child is approaching upper secondary, and recent examples of where graduates have progressed to university.
