International Schools in Rabat, Morocco

Rabat’s international schools fall into two broad groups: French-curriculum schools that are part of the AEFE network and English-language schools that follow American, British or international programmes, with several schools offering the International Baccalaureate in the upper years. Instruction is therefore commonly in French or English, and Arabic (Modern Standard Arabic and Moroccan Arabic) is taught in most schools either as a language subject or as part of national requirements. Fees vary a lot by type of school - state-linked French network schools charge in Moroccan dirhams on a different scale to private English-language K - 12 schools, some of which publish annual tuition in the tens of thousands of US dollars. Admissions follow the northern-hemisphere school year: the main intake is for the September term, many schools open applications in late winter/spring, and several operate rolling admissions and waiting lists, so relocating families should start enquiries several months before their move and prepare school reports, vaccination records and proof of residency.
