IMPORTANT INFORMATION
We are currently experiencing a significant increase in applications, reflecting the growing recognition of École du Nord among families.
We therefore strongly encourage parents to begin and complete the admissions process as early as possible with our Admissions Department to avoid disappointment (waiting lists) for September 2026 and 2027 intakes.
Applications must be complete and the relevant fees paid to secure a place.
❤️ Enrolling your child from Petite Section (Pre-Primary) ensures continuity throughout their entire schooling at École du Nord.
For families planning an expatriation to Mauritius, we encourage you to contact us well in advance of your arrival — even if your plans are still provisional. This allows us to plan appropriate class sizes and staffing accordingly each year.
Current Waiting Lists 2025/26: CE2
⚠️ Waiting lists will apply for certain year groups in 2026/27 : GS, CE2, CM2 and 6ème
ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS
For students joining from a non-French system (outside AEFE and the French Ministry of Education), paid placement assessments are required to validate admission to École du Nord.
