system<\/h3><p class=\"wge-texte\">Mauritian schools follow the Nine-Year Continuous Basic Education reform: six years of primary school, from Grade 1 to Grade 6, ending with the Primary School Achievement Certificate (PSAC), then seven years of secondary school, from Grade 7 to Grade 13. The National Certificate of Education (NCE) assesses pupils in Grade 9, the Cambridge School Certificate closes Grade 11 and the Cambridge Higher School Certificate Grade 13. These exams are run in Mauritius by the Mauritius Examinations Syndicate.<\/p><p class=\"wge-texte\">At primary level, the core curriculum combines English, French, mathematics, science, history and geography, and an Asian language, Arabic or Kreol Morisien. At secondary level, all lessons are taught in English except language lessons, and French remains compulsory. The Ministry of Education points out that secondary education has been free since 1977 and compulsory up to the age of 16 since 2005; secondary schools (colleges) are state, grant-aided private or fee-paying private.<\/p><h3 class=\"wge-soustitre\">French schools in Mauritius: five accredited schools<\/h3><p class=\"wge-texte\">Mauritius has three schools under agreement with the Agency for French Education Abroad (AEFE) and two partner schools, which teach more than 5,000 pupils, most of them Mauritian, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/mu.diplomatie.gouv.fr\/presence-francaise\/lenseignement-francais-maurice\" style=\"color:inherit;text-decoration:underline\">the French embassy<\/a>.

They share the same calendar, from late August to early July, and only the Lyc\u00e9e La Bourdonnais covers the whole of schooling, from nursery school to the final year of the baccalaur\u00e9at.<\/p><h3 class=\"wge-soustitre\">IB and Cambridge international schools<\/h3><p class=\"wge-texte\">Four Mauritian schools are listed in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ibo.org\/programmes\/find-an-ib-school\/?SearchFields.Country=MU\" style=\"color:inherit;text-decoration:underline\">the IB World Schools directory<\/a> : Clavis International Primary School, IB Primary Years Programme on two campuses, at Mount Ory (Moka) and in Beau Champ; Le Bocage International School, at Mount Ory, for 11 to 18-year-olds, with the Cambridge IGCSE in Forms 4 and 5; Northfields International School, in Labourdonnais (Mapou), which leads to the IB Diploma or to A-Levels after the IGCSE; Westcoast International Secondary School, in Cascavelle, in the West: IGCSE, then the Diploma Programme.<\/p><p class=\"wge-texte\">The British curriculum is also taught in schools that are not IB schools: Alexandra House School, an English primary school in Flor\u00e9al and a member of the Council of British International Schools (COBIS), and Telfair International Academy, in Tamarin, from 3 months to 15 years. The Dukesbridge network, the largest group of private schools on the island according to its website, teaches a framework adapted from British and Australian standards; Morning Star School follows the American faith-based Accelerated Christian Education programme.

\u00c9cole du Centre do not admit a child who entered Mauritius on a tourist visa, even temporarily; for non-Mauritian families, they require the child to be explicitly named on a parent\u2019s residence permit. The Lyc\u00e9e La Bourdonnais asks for the parents\u2019 Residence Permit or Occupation Permit.<\/li><li><strong>Allow for the time the permit takes.<\/strong> The \u00c9cole Paul et Virginie accepts a residence or work permit, the Premium Visa or the approval in principle of the Economic Development Board (EDB), to be provided before the start of the year, and warns that these procedures take at least one to three months depending on the case. The procedure is detailed in our article on the <a href=\"\/en\/mauritius-dependent-permit-spouse-children\/\" style=\"color:inherit;text-decoration:underline\">dependent permit in Mauritius<\/a>.<\/li><li><strong>Get in touch early.<\/strong> For 2026-2027, the \u00c9cole du Nord announced waiting lists in the last year of nursery school, in CM2 and in the first year of middle school, and asks families to get in touch well before they arrive, even when their plans are not settled. A \u201clong-term\u201d reservation fee of 40,000 rupees, an advance on school fees that is lost if you withdraw, holds a place there in the first or second year of nursery school.<\/li><li><strong>Visit and pre-register.<\/strong> For secondary school at the Lyc\u00e9e La Bourdonnais, pre-registration is done online, one form per child. Northfields and Clavis offer campus visits by appointment before you apply.<\/li><li><strong>Put the file together.<\/strong> Birth certificate or family record book; latest school reports and school record book; certificate of removal from the previous school, called a Transfer Certificate or Leaving Certificate in the Mauritian system; parents\u2019 passports; proof of address in Mauritius; permit or visa; in case of separation, the document setting out custody; up-to-date health record, requested by the Lyc\u00e9e La Bourdonnais.<\/li><li><strong>Solve the proof of address.<\/strong> The school asks for it, while the home is chosen according to the school. The sequence that avoids the deadlock: pre-registration first, then a lease in the school\u2019s area, then the complete file. This is where we step in: we find the rental near the chosen school, and the signed lease serves as proof of address.<\/li><li><strong>Sit the entrance tests.<\/strong> \u00c9cole du Nord: paid placement tests for pupils who come neither from an AEFE school nor from the French national education system. \u00c9cole du Centre: skills test if the child does not come from an accredited school. \u00c9cole Paul et Virginie: French and mathematics from CE1 for a pupil coming from another system.<\/li><li><strong>Tests at English-speaking schools.<\/strong> Northfields: Cognitive Abilities Test (CAT4), taken at the candidate\u2019s current school, then a committee decision. Westcoast: entrance tests after submitting the school reports for the last two years, a letter of recommendation, the birth certificate and the passport. Clavis: one hour of classroom observation for the youngest, a language and mathematics exam at primary level.<\/li><li><strong>Change system without repeating a year.<\/strong> For a pupil enrolled in Grade 7 or an equivalent level, the Lyc\u00e9e La Bourdonnais offers a bridging class: one semester from January, then entry into cinqui\u00e8me (second year of middle school) at the following start of the year. It costs 8,000 rupees a month in 2026-2027.<\/li><li><strong>Pay to confirm the place.<\/strong> The place is only secured once the file is accepted and the first fees are paid. At the Lyc\u00e9e des Mascareignes, enrolment of a family not yet living in Mauritius only becomes effective once the fees are paid and the residence permit obtained; Northfields allows two weeks after the letter of acceptance to pay the inception fee and the deposit. In most fee schedules, these entry fees are not refundable.<\/li><li><strong>The Mauritian system.<\/strong> The Ministry provides an admission form, with a section for children of non-Mauritian parents; the National Equivalence Committee rules on equivalences up to secondary level. The file includes the residence permits of the parents and of the child.<\/li><li><strong>Prepare for the start of the year.<\/strong> Transport, canteen and uniform are paid separately: see below what the schools say about them.<\/li><\/ol><\/div><\/section>\n<section class=\"wguide-section\" id=\"couts\" aria-labelledby=\"couts-titre\"><div class=\"wguide-container\"><header class=\"wguide-section-head wguide-section-head--split wguide-section-head--deux\"><div><p class=\"wguide-kicker\"><span>05<\/span> The cost<\/p><h2 id=\"couts-titre\">Cost of schooling in Mauritius in 2026-2027, in rupees and in euros<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"wguide-section-head__side\"><p>The amounts come from the fee schedules published by the schools for 2026-2027, or for 2026 at Westcoast.
