2. Application requirements: The Admissions Application Form must be completed in full and signed by a parent or legal guardian. Submit a copy of the child's passport, the most recent school report (in English or translated), vaccination records, four passport-sized photographs, and copies of the child's National ID or Residence ID, along with a signed Parent Contract and the non-refundable Registration Fee. Additional documents such as medical or educational reports may be requested where relevant.
3. Submitting the application: Applications can be submitted by hand or scanned and emailed. The date the completed application is received determines the applicant's initial place on the waiting list. A separate application is required for each child.
4. Initial review and availability check: After receipt, the School checks that the entry date is within one year and whether a place is available in the appropriate year group or likely to become available within a year. If entry within a year seems unlikely, the parent is informed that the child will be assessed for a place on the waiting list only and the most recent school report will be requested. If a place is available, the School proceeds to verify the information and supporting documents. If items are missing, the parent is asked to provide them.
5. Assessment scheduling: When all required admissions documentation is submitted, the Admissions team will contact the parent to schedule an entry assessment test. In certain circumstances, such as a pandemic, the student may be assessed based on the most recent school report. The assessment aligns with the year group for which admission is sought.
6. Admissions criteria and readiness testing: Admissions require the student to be able to cope with the curriculum. The following must be completed: a fully filled Admissions Form with medical information, copies of passport and IDs, school leaving certificate, vaccination and medical records, and signed Parent Contract. Assessments measure readiness in English, Mathematics, Non-Verbal Reasoning and Spatial Ability; satisfactory references from previous schools; and payment of the required fees (Registration, Educational Technology Fee, and Tuition). For Sixth Form entry, GCSE results (or equivalent) and typical grades in intended A-level subjects are considered, with conditional offers common.
7. Normal application timeline: The School accepts students throughout the year, but for a September start the usual process begins in October of the preceding year. If applications exceed places, admissions may close at the School's discretion; places for September are usually finalised by the end of the academic year.
8. Assessment process by year group: Entry assessments are designed to match the year group's curriculum. FS1/FS2 involve observation on site; Year 1-2 assess conversational skills and social behavior; Year 3-6 assessments are usually exam-style with Maths, English, Non-Verbal Reasoning and a short writing task; Year 7-10 assessments are online or on-site with similar components plus a short essay; Sixth Form involves online assessments, a written essay and consideration of prior work; Applicants may be interviewed or provide additional evidence as needed.
9. Decision outcomes: After assessment, the School determines whether to offer an unconditional place, a conditional offer or non-admission. Conditional offers link to specified conditions and require additional evidence to show conditions have been met; final decisions are communicated by the Headteacher and recorded in the student file.
10. Waitlists: Waitlists exist for most year groups with a rolling system. If no place is available, applications remain on the Waiting List until a place becomes available; Year 10 and Year 12 entries are typically prioritised at the start of the academic year and no later than October, subject to Executive Headteacher approval.
11. Enrollment and onboarding: If a place is accepted, the Parent Contract is signed and the Registration Fee paid. Enrollment is not final until the Registration Fee and First Term Tuition are paid.

Pastoral wellbeing provides a holistic approach to student development, integrating academic and personal growth from age 3 to 18. PHSCE education focuses on emotional health, physical health, healthy living, living in a community, and preparation for the future. Studying these life skills outside the curriculum helps students develop resilience and the ability to navigate friendships, emotional wellbeing, and change, preparing them for life beyond school. The aim is to empower students with essential life skills alongside their academic progress.
The Special Educational Needs and Disability Policy commits BISC to an inclusive British-style education with high expectations for all learners. All schemes of work consider the ages, aptitudes and needs of students, including those with special educational needs, to enable learning and progress. Four broad areas of need are recognised: communication and interaction; cognition and learning; social, emotional and mental health difficulties; and sensory and/or physical needs. Provision follows a four‑part plan (Assess, Plan, Do, Review) with a three-level Staged Intervention, and may include Learning Support Assistants. The policy states that all learners have the right to needed support, with additional funding for some services or equipment where required, and admission may be declined if needs exceed capacity.
The curriculum is delivered in English and students should demonstrate age-appropriate fluency in speaking and writing, with at least one parent able to communicate effectively in English. Admission may be granted to EAL students whose learning requirements can be met within the mainstream classroom without significant additional intervention. Enrollment into the Primary School includes assessment of language, literacy and maths skills for those with EAL needs, and placement decisions follow assessment. Secondary entry involves English and maths evaluations and a structured interview.
Pastoral wellbeing emphasises a truly holistic education, with emotional health, physical health, healthy living, community living, and preparation for the future as core aspects. The program builds life skills outside the curriculum to help students thrive now and in the future, including dealing with friendships, emotional wellbeing and change, and developing emotional resilience to face life's challenges.
Safeguarding the welfare of students is everyone's responsibility at all times. All staff have a duty to safeguard students and provide a safe environment, ensuring every student feels safe, happy and able to flourish. Safeguarding is embedded in daily practice, and students can speak up with confidence knowing they will be listened to and supported. A designated safeguarding lead and a team of deputies oversee policies and processes to respond to concerns in a child-centred way.
1. The school offers a Cambridge curriculum for children aged 3-18. The curriculum is delivered in English and students are expected to demonstrate age-appropriate fluency in speaking and writing. At least one parent/guardian must be able to communicate effectively in English. 2. Admissions priority may be given to students from another British educational institution; the school welcomes students from all nationalities and backgrounds, with representatives of more than 22 countries. Admissions priority may also be given to siblings and to those returning to BISC after a period at another school. 3. Admission may be granted to EAL (English as an Additional Language) students whose individual learning requirements can be met within the mainstream classroom without significant additional intervention. Copies of recent school reports and, from the current (or previous) school, a confidential reference are requested. 4. ENROLLMENT INTO THE PRIMARY SCHOOL: Age-appropriate Language, Literacy and Maths skills are assessed for those with EAL needs, or for children with an educational background outside the British system. Out-of-year placements will only be considered in exceptional circumstances after consultation with an assessment by the Head of the Primary School and the Admissions Head. 5. ENROLLMENT INTO THE SECONDARY SCHOOL: Years 7-9: There is an entrance examination in which students complete an English test and a maths written assessment. Those who are not able to access the curriculum sufficiently well will not be accepted. A one-to-one interview is also conducted with the Admissions Department and the Key Stage Leader. 6. Years 10-11 (IGCSE): Enrolment onto IGCSE courses, and transfers from other GCSE or IGCSE courses, can be complex and need to be considered on an individual basis. Beginning this two-year course more than six months after it starts (March of Year 10) is often impractical as catch-up can be very difficult. The expectation is that most students will progress into Years 12 and 13 to study A-levels, although this is not automatic. 7. Years 12-13 (A-Level): Admission to the A-Level Programme depends on the ability to cope with the demands of a challenging course. The usual minimum academic attainment for entry to Year 12 is 5 A-B GCSE/IGCSE awards (or equivalent). These would usually include English and Mathematics and at least a grade B in any subject to be studied. 8. From 3 to 18 Years Old: ADMISSIONS OPEN. Click here to apply.

PSHE and Citizenship enable children to become healthy, independent and responsible members of society. They are encouraged to contribute to the life of the school and the wider community, developing a sense of self-worth. They learn about healthy lifestyles and safety, understand what makes for good relationships, and gain respect for themselves and others. They become independent and responsible members of the school community and active participants in a democratic society. PSHE and citizenship are linked to cross-curricular learning and include components such as drugs education, dealing with bullying, health and safety, equal opportunities, and spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
École Montessori Casablanca's SEND policy states that Montessori environments cater to the needs of all children and are respectful and supportive of each child's learning abilities. When a student has SEND, a learning support program is offered, including adapted reading approaches such as an Orton-Gillingham approach. If a student receives a diagnosis, teachers and the school work with psychologists, tutors, etc. to ensure a unified system of support for the child. The school uses an Assess, Plan, Do and Review SEND support cycle with progress monitoring and ongoing involvement of parents. If progress remains inadequate, external agencies may be involved to tailor support, while the school aims to remove barriers to learning and ensure inclusion.
The Curriculum Support Policy provides ESL as a dedicated support curriculum for students not fluent in English for 1 to 3 academic years. Small ESL groups are used when numbers permit; one-on-one ESL is only envisioned for a quarter, with differentiated instruction within peer groups when possible. Families are encouraged to arrange additional English classes after school, with the aim of boosting English proficiency within about one year. For neuro-atypical students or those with a diagnosed condition, extra classes may be provided within the Montessori framework, with a SEN plan agreed by SEN/DSL and teaching staff.
PSHE and Citizenship promotes personal, social and health development to help students become healthy, independent and responsible; the program supports self-confidence and self-esteem and enables informed personal and social choices. It teaches healthy lifestyles and safety, helps students form good relationships, and fosters respect for self and others. Students are encouraged to participate in democratic processes and community life, developing resilience, emotional development, and a sense of belonging within the school. The approach integrates cross-curricular elements and cross-cultural awareness as part of holistic wellbeing.
Safeguarding is the action taken to promote pupils' welfare and protect them from harm.

The DSL and deputies receive safeguarding training and updates every two years, and all staff receive safeguarding training at least every three years; pupils are informed about who to talk to and how to report concerns. The school supervises pupils, controls access for visitors, and encourages listening and reporting through channels such as whistleblowing; the Safeguarding Policy is reviewed annually and aligned with broader child-protection standards.

1. Initial Inquiry and School Tour Booking
Parents begin the enrollment process by completing the online visit request form on the school's admissions portal to provide contact details and preferred dates. This system allows families to schedule either an in-person campus tour in Casablanca or a virtual visit if they are currently residing abroad. Parents should be aware that this step is designed to help families observe the school's environment and discuss the pedagogical project with the staff. The team uses the submitted form details to organize the subsequent steps of the registration sequence based on the child's age group.
2. Application Submission via the Registration Portal
Following the initial inquiry, parents must formally submit an application through the digital portal found on the registration page of the website. During this stage, families upload the required academic records, identification documents, and student history forms. Parents must be aware that initial enrollment requires the payment of a non-refundable first-time registration fee, known as the Droits de Première Inscription (DPI). However, families enrolling multiple children receive a twenty-five percent discount on this specific fee starting from the second child onward.
3. Age-Specific Evaluations or Parental Interviews
Applicants are then scheduled for age-specific evaluations or parental interviews to determine readiness and ensure appropriate class placement. For children entering Petite or Moyenne Section, parents attend an interview with the School Director, and they must note that children must be fully toilet-trained to be admitted without diapers. For older grades, primary and secondary applicants undergo confidential entrance tests assessing French language proficiency, logic, and reasoning skills. Parents should know that instructions during these sessions are given exclusively in French, making language fluency a key factor in the selection process.
4. Admissions Decision and Final Enrollment
Once evaluation results are processed, the school issues an admission decision based on student performance and class capacity limits. To secure the offered seat, parents must finalize the administrative dossier and complete the required fee payments within the specified timeframe. Parents must remain aware that all school fees are billed on a term-by-term basis, meaning that any academic term commenced is fully due. Consequently, registration and tuition fees are non-refundable once a term begins, even if the student leaves the institution early.
