Schooling your children in Morocco: the international schools

For a relocating family, schooling is often the first question. The good news: Morocco — and Casablanca in particular — has a dense, well-regarded international offering.

The French curriculum

The French education network is one of the largest in the world. In Casablanca, Lycée Lyautey and the Louis-Massignon network — present as far as Bouskoura — welcome thousands of pupils, from preschool to the baccalauréat.

American and British curricula

Families attached to an English-language curriculum will find Casablanca American School (Californie), George Washington Academy or London Academy. In Marrakech, the American School of Marrakesh and the British Academy round out the choice.

Choosing a school often shapes the choice of neighbourhood — and vice versa.

Plan admissions ahead

The best schools maintain waiting lists. It is wise to begin the process several months before the start of the year, and to choose your neighbourhood with commuting times in mind. Each of our property pages lists the schools near the residence.
