Non-profit, English-medium international primary school

The school serves local Mauritians and international students from around the world, reflecting a diverse pupil population.

Inclusion support is provided; an inclusion team member from the Moka campus supports Beau Champ, enabling students with identified needs to access resources across both campuses; Beau Champ does not yet have a full-time on-site inclusion teacher.

Regular transport is not organized by the school. The school offers a subsidised afternoon shuttle to Bagatelle to assist with commutes; otherwise, transport is arranged by parents directly with independent drivers.

The school offers the Primary Years Programme (PYP) of the International Baccalaureate (IB) for students aged 3 to 12 in an English-medium international primary setting. The PYP is inquiry-based and transdisciplinary, promoting critical thinking, creativity, and international-mindedness. The curriculum framework includes the written, taught, and assessed components, and follows the PYP structure outlined in Making the PYP Happen. The PYP is transdisciplinary and focuses on issues across subject areas. Year groups for 2025 range from Pre-Reception (Lower Primary) to Year 6 (Upper Primary) across two campuses, with an inclusion approach across both sites. An inclusion team member from the Moka campus provides guidance at Beau Champ to support students with identified needs, while the schools continue to expand resources to meet inclusive education needs.

The school operates as an English-medium IB PYP primary school and places strong emphasis on social, emotional, creative, and physical development; students feel safe, valued, and connected to their teachers.

An inclusion team member from the Moka campus provides guidance and support at Beau Champ, enabling students with identified needs to benefit from the same expertise across both campuses; Beau Champ does not yet have a full-time inclusion teacher on site, and resources are being built.

The IB Primary Years Programme focuses on the social, emotional, creative, and physical development of students.
