Ecole Francaise Internationale de Casablanca

The school aims to provide an education that combines French academic excellence with an international perspective, fostering a trilingual environment (French, English, and Arabic). It emphasizes the development of the whole person, focusing on intellectual and social skills, critical thinking, leadership, and values such as openness, tolerance, and responsibility. The school community is multicultural, with students representing over 42 nationalities.

The school delivers the official French national curriculum, complemented by a strong emphasis on languages, aiming for trilingualism in French, English, and Arabic. A 50/50 French-English bilingual programme is a core feature of the primary curriculum. From the 5th grade (5ème), students may also choose to learn additional languages such as Spanish or Mandarin.

Students are prepared for the French national diplomas, including the Brevet and the Baccalauréat. The school also offers the Baccalauréat Français International (BFI) in American and trilingual streams, preparing graduates for entry into top-tier universities worldwide. Students also earn various international language certifications, such as Cambridge English, IELTS, DELE, HSK, and CIMA.

The school provides a 'Passerelle' (Gateway) programme for students who need academic support. This includes intensive French as a Foreign Language (FLE) courses for non-francophone students and intensive English as a Foreign Language (ALE) courses for students requiring a boost to meet the requirements of the bilingual curriculum. Additionally, the school offers pedagogical support sessions during the midday break.

Admissions are open to students of all nationalities. The process for entry from Middle Section (Moyenne Section) to Terminale is managed through the Service de Coopération et d’Actions Culturelles (SCAC) of the French Embassy in Morocco, with applications typically accepted between January and March for the following academic year. Rolling admissions are available for expatriate families relocating to Casablanca throughout the year, subject to space availability.

The school follows the official academic calendar defined by the French Embassy in Morocco, aligning its start dates, holidays, and public holidays with other French schools in the country. The primary school operates on a schedule that includes morning and afternoon sessions, with specific provisions for extracurricular activities and supervised study during the midday break. Secondary school hours generally run from early morning until late afternoon, with no after-school care provided for these levels.

The school operates two modern, purpose-built campuses in the Casa-Anfa district. The primary campus (12,500 m²) features spacious classrooms with interactive technology, a library/media center, science labs, an amphitheater, and extensive sports facilities including a gymnasium and multisport courts. The secondary campus (18,500 m²) includes dedicated buildings for middle and high school, a science hub with 11 laboratories, a swimming pool, a dojo, music and art studios, and a recording studio.

The school offers a variety of extracurricular activities, including an 'After School Club' and holiday/summer camps. Students participate in diverse programmes such as a webjournal, a webradio, and various cultural, artistic, and sports initiatives. Partnerships with local facilities, such as the CAFC and Etoile Foot Ball Academy, provide additional opportunities for sports and leisure.
