About the school 

Located in Casablanca, ISM was founded in 2011 by a team of teachers and their spouses wishing to create a school dedicated to student centred, inquiry based education. Our mission is to prepare students to succeed as responsible global citizens in an ever-changing, increasingly interdependent world. We achieve this through adherence to high standards of academic excellence and a dedication to modelling and promoting principles of respect and integrity. 

 

We are a small school focused on early childhood and lower primary education. Most of our classes are multi-age classes. 

 

Our curriculum is based on the UK National Curriculum of England and Wales, IB/PYP.  We are an accredited member of the Council of British International School (COBIS). We have successfully passed inspection by the office of British Schools Overseas (BSO) and are an IB World School offering the PYP.
