Complete French Curriculum: EFI welcomes students from nursery (3 years old) and delivers the official program of the French Ministry of Education and prepares students to pass the brevet and the French baccalaureate. International Language Certifications: The EFI academic curriculum is supplemented by a language program guiding students toward trilingualism (French, English, Arabic) and leads them to prepare, as of the end of primary, the main international language certifications (Cambridge, IELTS, DELE, HSK, CIMA). A gateway program for non Francophone students: The Passerelle program is designed for two categories of students: non French-speaking students educated in a foreign educational system will take accelerated courses in FLE (French as a Foreign Language), starting in Grande Section; students who do not have the necessary English skills to follow the 50-50 French-English curriculum will take accelerated EFL (English as a Foreign Language) courses to bring them up to speed in English, starting in first grade.
Assessment of Learning Outcomes: From September 8 to October 10, elementary students, as well as those in 6ème, 4ème and 2nde, took part in the learning assessments conducted across the entire network of French schools in Morocco. These evaluations measure student progress, adjust teaching practices, and provide each student with the conditions needed to reach their full potential. During the previous session, elementary students stood out: in 75% of the assessed competencies, EFI Casablanca students scored above the average of French schools in Morocco.
Orientation: The school conducted orientation activities including conferences for families, information meetings with students, and individual interviews to clarify and support orientation projects. The school also hosted events about CPGE (Classes Préparatoires aux Grandes Écoles) to help lycée students understand pathways to Grandes Écoles.
