The school landscape in Fez
Most of the schools listed in Fez cover several levels, from preschool to middle school, and a good share continue through high school. For families, this is a chance to choose one school for several years and avoid changing schools at the start of middle school.
Nurseries, on the other hand, are few in the directory: if you need childcare before age 3, allow more time and widen your search area.

Tips for choosing a school in Fez
- Think in terms of the whole journey. Many schools continue to middle or high school: ask how the move from one cycle to the next works.
- Pick a corridor. Route d’Imouzzer, Route de Sefrou or Aïn Chkef: starting from your daily commute makes comparing easier.
- Plan ahead for toddlers. With fewer nurseries available, start early and visit several options.
