Port Louis - Post Report Question and Answers
What is the availability of international schools? What has been your general experience with them, if any?
International schools are widely available and of high quality in Mauritius, acting as a key feature of the island's offering for expatriate families, particularly with the 2026 expansion of options. The market is dominated by English-medium schools (often IB or British) and strong French-medium institutions. - May 2026
We send our daughter to a French school and we've been very happy with it. There's a lot of variety here: French, English, international, an American-run Christian school, etc. It's all about location, though. Put your school preferences in your housing survey, because driving across the island to school will get old fast. - Jun 2014
Surprisingly good options for schools here; several high schools with IB or other internationally recognized programs. Even a primary school running the IB program! Lots of options around the island to find a school in your area. - Feb 2009
