About international schools in Tunisia
International schools in Tunisia are concentrated in Tunis and the main coastal towns and include a mix of French-government (AEFE-linked) schools, English-medium British and Cambridge schools, and an established American school that also runs the IB Diploma for older students. Instruction is commonly in French at the AEFE network schools and in English at British- and American-style schools, with many international schools offering strong trilingual programmes that add Arabic alongside French or English. Annual school fees vary widely by provider and age, running from modest local international-school levels into the mid-to-high thousands of Tunisian dinars at long-standing K - 12 campuses, so families should compare published fee schedules and one-off registration or capital levies. Admissions usually follow an autumn academic calendar but schools accept applications year-round subject to places; expect an application form, documents (transcripts, birth and vaccination records), an age-appropriate assessment or interview and a non-refundable deposit to confirm a place.

Curricula
There are 14 international schools in Tunisia covering 16 curricula. The most widely offered are IB (PYP) (5), Cambridge IGCSE (5), IB (MYP) (4), British Curriculum (4), Cambridge A Levels (4). 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.

Each school's profile shows term dates, open days and how to enquire.

How doris stays impartial
doris lists every international school in Tunisia 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.
