Thank you so much - I will do research on those links.  Have a wonderful day!

We have chosen Northfields for our 13 year old boy.
Mostly because we wanted to be on the North coast. I have heard the traffic can be really bad on the west coast?

Thank you - we will keep that in mind.

@jeanette, here follows some detailed info on the main International Schools:

About Northfields:

From its small beginnings in 2001 with 9 students and renting a small house, Northfields has grown to over 400 students housed in more than 5 000 sq. metres of buildings.

The school was founded in 2001 by a small group of eight parents living in the North. They got together and decided to put their hearts, minds and finances together to create a school, with a family atmosphere for their children, allowing the School to open its doors in September 2001 to its first student intake of 9 pupils.

In January 2003, the new school grounds were ready. Slowly, Northfields offered students their own dedicated floodlit full size rugby and football fields as well as cricket nets and pitch. Northfields also has its own 25m swimming pool which incorporates an Olympic size water polo pool.

In 2014 and 2015 Northfields under took a strategic review and decided to realign its educational offering into 2 schools, Preparatory and Senior.

Thus in August 2015 Northfields increased its academic offering to students from the age of 9 years old and offered a Year 5 and a Year 6. Northfields thus rebranded its “forms” to “Years”, and consequently the prior Form 1 became Year 7.

In 2015 an opportunity also arose to acquire an early learning centre for children aged 18 months to 3 years. This centre presently has 40 children.

In August 2017, Northfields inaugurated the new boarding school which is a ‘home away from home'.

Then in August 2018, to further increase its academic offering, Northfields opened its Nursery and Primary section, making it the only school on the island offering education to children from 18 months till 18 years old.

Northfields is and will continue to be a shining star of the beautiful island of Mauritius, tucked away in the lush green sugar cane fields, with its gorgeous grounds and beautiful coastal breeze.

Welcome to WISS!

Founded in 2014, Westcoast International Secondary School, the only English-medium secondary school on the west coast of the island, has moved into its brand new premises in Uniciti in January 2017.



Westcoast Secondary School is part of the Uniciti Education Hub  encompassing the whole education offer of Uniciti.



In Form 1 to 3, a challenging, engaging and international minded concept focussed curriculum is studied by all pupils, The International Middle Year Curriculum (IMYC).  It is our job – of course – to engage all students in their learning but also to encourage and develop intellectual independence to a high level.  In form 4 and 5, the students work on a curriculum established for the IGCSE. These are external exams, set and marked by Cambridge, England and taken at the end of Form 5. WISS is an International Baccalaureate World School and is authorised  to implement the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme.   The programme will start in January 2020 with form 6 students.



Our classes are small with a maximum of 25 students, in order to emphasise individual attention.

As soon as you enter our building, you will notice that our students are well-rounded, friendly, open minded and true global citizens who work hard and enjoy learning.



If you get the chance, please do come and visit us.  We'll all be delighted to see you.
