Admission to a French-education establishment in Morocco is open to all students regardless of nationality or prior schooling, subject to available places and after submitting an online application on efmaroc.org. There are two primary pathways: (1) admission based on the candidate's academic parcours (with an order that depends on place availability) and (2) admission granted after an entrance test for certain levels; online dossier submission is still required. The admission decision is made by commissions, and offers are communicated to families by email after the commissions. To be effective, the family must confirm the enrollment within 72 hours directly with the assigned establishment. If the deadline is missed, the admission offer is forfeited. It is possible that for some levels or establishments there may be no places available. The number of places allocated through entrance tests (for MS to CP) or through the parcours-based route (CE1 to seconde) is very limited, so families should plan alternative schooling options in a timely manner. The dossier must be submitted online, and admission is based on the available places at the time of processing. For all admissions, a Droit de première inscription (DPI) is due at enrollment, in addition to the annual tuition, and tuition is payable in three installments. Non-payment can lead to automatic exclusion. Scholarships are available for eligible students, and information about payment terms and potential reductions may apply depending on local arrangements.
