About international schools in Morocco

International schools in Morocco are commonly bilingual or trilingual, blending French, English and Arabic in varying proportions so families can choose programmes that keep ties to the francophone system or favour anglophone pathways. Schools offer a mix of curricula - French national (AEFE-style) programmes, British (Cambridge/IGCSE/A-level), International Baccalaureate (PYP/MYP/DP), American-style courses and Montessori options - so it’s important to match curriculum to your family’s long-term plans. Annual tuition in major cities varies widely, with published whole-school ranges in places like Casablanca typically starting in the tens of thousands of Moroccan dirhams and extending into the higher bands for premium anglophone campuses. Most international schools have a main September intake and a rolling or secondary mid-year entry, so parents normally begin research and applications many months ahead of the school year; schools are concentrated in Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakech and Tangier, which affects choice and availability for relocating families.

There are 6 international schools in Morocco covering 12 curricula. The most widely offered are French Curriculum (2), IB (DP) (2), IB (MYP) (1), Bespoke Curriculum (1), Cambridge (Primary) (1). If your child may move countries again, an internationally-portable curriculum (IB, or Cambridge/British) keeps options open; if you're likely to settle, a curriculum matching your home or target university system can be the better fit.

Admissions & timing

Sought-after schools in Morocco 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. Each school's profile shows term dates, open days and how to enquire.

Boarding

Most schools here are day schools; check individual profiles for any boarding options.

How doris stays impartial

doris lists every international school in Morocco 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 Morocco

What curricula will my child find at international schools in Morocco?
You will find a range of curricula: the French national programme (often via French-linked schools), British programmes leading to IGCSEs and A-levels, the International Baccalaureate across primary and secondary phases, American-style diploma or Advanced Placement options, and alternative approaches such as Montessori. Each system has different assessment styles and progression paths, so consider where you want your child to finish secondary school and which diploma will best support university plans.
What languages are used and how strong is support for children who don’t speak French or Arabic?
Many international schools teach mainly in English or French and include Arabic as a compulsory subject; several schools advertise trilingual programmes that start language exposure in early years. Schools commonly provide additional language support or English as an Additional Language (EAL) programmes for newcomers, but the level and formality of support vary, so ask the admissions team for details on language support, entry assessments and staged induction.
How much should we budget for fees and what extras should we expect?
Published tuition bands in major Moroccan cities show substantial variation: headline annual fees commonly begin in the tens of thousands of dirhams and can reach high-end levels for some anglophone schools, while mid-range fees sit between those extremes. In addition to tuition, budget for registration or admission fees, annual facility or capital levies, school transport, uniforms, exams and extracurricular costs - some schools publish separate one-off entrance charges and annual service fees.
When should we apply and what documents are usually required?
For a September start most families begin their school search and applications 9 - 12 months ahead, with assessments and interviews commonly scheduled 3 - 6 months before term begins; many schools also run a smaller mid-year intake. Typical documentation includes recent school reports, copies of passports, birth certificates, vaccination records, proof of residence and any learning-support documentation; individual schools publish precise checklists and may require standardised tests or parent interviews.
What should we look for when visiting international schools in Morocco?
Observe the language used in lessons and on noticeboards, check the availability and level of learning-support and language-support services, and ask about class sizes, teacher qualifications and safeguarding policies. Also clarify fee structures and contract terms (deposit, refund and waitlist policies), speak to other parents if possible, and confirm how the school supports transitions between curricula if you expect future moves.
