The school landscape in Agadir

Almost every school listed in Agadir takes preschool and primary pupils. Some of them continue through middle and high school: if you want to avoid changing schools, target these school groups from the start.

Agadir also has international schools, including an international French lycée and schools following an American curriculum, as well as a school that supports pupils enrolled with CNED (France’s official distance-learning service). Nurseries remain few in the directory.

The curricula you will find

  • Moroccan curriculum — offered by most private schools, often with extra French.
  • French curriculum — an international French lycée and French-speaking bilingual schools.
  • American curriculum — several schools follow an American curriculum, from preschool to high school.
  • CNED support — at least one school supports pupils enrolled in the French distance-learning program.

The advertised curriculum doesn’t tell the whole story: always ask which language is actually used in class and how many hours each language gets. Our guide which school system to choose will help you decide.

Tips for choosing a school in Agadir

  • Target full school groups. To avoid changing schools at middle school, favor schools that continue through high school.
  • Look in Inezgane and Aït Melloul too. The wider area has many private schools, sometimes closer to home.
  • Check the real language balance. In international and bilingual schools alike, ask how teaching hours are split between languages.
  • Plan for canteen and transport. These services aren’t offered everywhere: check them on each school’s profile.
