Heyy Lucy! I'm a mauritian who goes to Lycée LaBoudonnais and you explained very well all the schools in mauritius as well as the way we do. I would like to say that Lycée Labourdonnais is now an International school which we mostly speak french... I really appreciated your video! Keep going!
Thanks Lucy - looking to move with our 3 kids and want them to attend the same school if possible. Thanks for the concise info. I'll be doing a solo reconnaissance trip later in the year to scout out schools etc etc etc.
Hi Lucy great video well done. Another great school in the center in Trianon is Morning Star with a well known international christian education system. Might interest some of your viewers 😉
This is one of the scariest issues for us coming over. We have never been to Mauritius so everything is new to us. Thanks for pointing us in a good direction. I wanted to buy you a coffee but that link asks me to sign up and then goes to my own page instead of yours.
Hi Al. Indeed looking for a school while moving to a new country is very daunting. Hopefully you'll find something suitable. If you'd like to buy me a coffee, try the following link: www.buymeacoffee.com/lucyleheilleix All of the best.
@@apete797 hi there. They are in private schools. It is pretty much expected that (as an expat) you send your kids to a private school. That said, I did see some asking over on Facebook about sending their kids to a local school. It depends on your budget and what suits your family. The level of education is very good in local governmental schools too.
I went to Le Bocage Private International school in Moka. Brilliant school. If you go to Le Bocage you do not need to learn French. Classes are in English. You can do Afrikaans as a language, very helpful if you move to Mauritius with High School age children.
Hi Lucy, I'm falling in love with Mauritius and looking at a career change as a teacher. Do you have any links, websites or advice on the best way to apply for positions at Private schools in Mauritius?
Thank you so much for the imformation.my daughter is going to begin Junior high school in China .next year her father will work In Mau and i hope she can go with him because we are so tired about the crazy Chinese education，but i am worried if she can catch up with the international IB class，we have another system in China，what can I do for her？
Could you please tell me more about these schools. Do they take on NQT? Do they run a PGCE with the MIE? are there many expatriate teachers? Is there any schools in the east please? Do they teach Kreole in these private schools? Are all schools bilingual?
Hi Adi. Do check out the websites of the schools as there are too many to single out. International schools teach predominantly in English with French as an additional subject (or other foreign languages). French schools teach in French with an English section. Kids are encouraged to be bilingual. There are no private international schools on the east coast as this area mainly only has a few hotels and villages. Kreole is something my kids pick up from everyday social interaction. 😀
Hi Lucy, Great video and information presented, as usual. Do you intend on making a video on the public school system in Mauritius in the future? Besides private schools, Mauritius is also home to some excellent public schools.
Great suggestion Kesh. There are so many public schools here that it will make a very long video! I chose private schools as my target market is mostly expats. Let's see. Thanks very much for watching.
HI Lucy, these videos are so helpful! I have been looking at which high schools get the best results for our very academic 11 year old daughter. Where we move too will be decided around the best school. In your opinion which is the BEST high school. Thank you so much for these videos.
Hi Allen. I Sony know of anyone who has been there. Probably best you email them and take a tour. I find you’ll always know if it’s going to be feasible after the first visit 👍🏻
I know this is off topic but I don't know where else to ask it. Will you be doing any videos at the Phoenix Beer factory? Every time I drove by I always wanted to stop and have a snoop round and now I doubt I ever will.
@@LucyLeheilleix thirsty fox? That's a new one to me! It was all blue marlin or phoenix the last time I went. That or seven seas and green Island. I'll look forward to trying the new fox
@@LucyLeheilleix do they still only have that one night club that's always closed? I used to drive up to grand bay along the costal road to get there when we could get out hands on a van and to this day I've still never been!
Hi Lucy - I’m a teacher from South Afrixa and I'm wondering if I get a discount on school fees if I enroll my child in one if these private schools where I one day might teach if we relocate?
Hi Lucy. We are relocating from Cape Town next year and our kids are in public school here. Is private schooling the only option for expats? I have found St Nicholas Grammar school which is more in our budget, but I cannot find any others in this price range on the island.
Hello! Yes, private schooling is certainly advised. Public schools are excellent, but expats are expected to pay for schooling. The island has got very, very expensive…
@@LucyLeheilleix thanks so much. We are happy to pay for schooling but would prefer to stay under the Rs10 000 per child mark. So far I've found St Nicholas grammar school to be in our budget. Do you know of schools in a similar price range? My kids are grade 4 and 10 next year.
Hello Lucy 🤗, if i live in Tamarin or Flic en Flac, where i had to register my boy teenager in french classroom 3ème collège ? Thank you for your answer 🙏
@@LucyLeheilleix I’m doing my 9th in India, I’ll have to study an extra year if I come to Mauritius cause I’m gonna go to university back in India (after high school uni in India is 4 yrs instead of 3 in uk) so should I do 10th in India which will put me in 12th in Mauritius next year of do an extra year in Mauritius which may cause problems.
Please could you advise if there is a school for special needs children to teach them a trade to which they can be self sufficient. I have a niece who has finished school but we looking at putting her in a programme to assist her in further achievements

My children attended Lighthouse since reception and they are now in grade 5 & 6. It is a very good school with dedicated teachers. I recommend LPS.
Thanks for letting me know Valerie!
please what is the fees like in the school?
Thank you Lucy. Again, great information. We are planning to move to Mauritius next year. I find all your videos informative.
Thanks very much Colette. 👌
Thank you very much - my family live in Mauritius and they had a different schooling system to New Zealand.
I love to watch your videos Lucy, so well spoken and always lots of info. Thx and keep it up, you doing a great job. Thx for all te info

Hi Lucinda. I’d send her to an international school that does IB and IGCSE’s. Try Northfields, west coast, bocage. Good luck 👍🏻
How can I apply for teaching job in Mauritius
You would have to search for jobs online or contact the schools directly 👍🏻
My whole family and I am Mauritian

You missed to mention le nid , hamstead , orchard kids ,st helena and others
Thanks Sanassy for the additional info.
Most of these schools are not good enough for international students.

That's really cool Lucy but hey I wanted to know whether your child would get full privacy or will interact with locals

Great video, perhaps you could do a video on special needs/autistic schools/classes for ex pats who have kids with special needs.
Thanks for that suggestion. Unfortunately there really aren’t enough schools to create a video on that topic.
👍👍 Thanks for the information :)
No problem 👍
Hi Lucy, what are the average school fees for high school n what are the terms like...any holiday breaks
