Homeschool for my grade 12 son

Hello, I am also interesting in this topic. What are the schools like in Mauritius? How many are where (private vs public) and where are they located? What language are they taught in?

Douglas,

Public schools are of varying quality and are generally spread evenly throughout the island - though the top schools (in terms of academics) are concentrated in and around the central plateau. Expect spartan campuses with crowded classrooms, though the overall quality of instruction is considered to be quite good by international standards.

Private schools are less common, especially at the secondary level. The top three English-language schools (in terms of public perception) are Le Bocage, Northfields and the American International Academy of Mauritius (AIA).

Le Bocage is a large school (over 500 students) situated in the central region of Moka, while Northfields is a slightly smaller school (300+ students) located in the North of the island (near the village of Labourdonnais). Both cater heavily to the English-speaking ex-pat communities, including the embassy/consulate and business executive sets.

AIA is a new school opening in January, 2012, near Petit Camp. It is somewhat smaller (less than 200 students) and emphasizes technology in the classroom, with a fully wired campus and online curriculum management system. It's also significantly less expensive than its competitors, making AIA a particularly attractive option for ex-pats on a budget.

Feel free to PM me if you need more info.
