Opened in September 2011, École Montessori Casablanca is an independent private establishment. EMC was the first school in Morocco to offer a program based on Dr. Maria Montessori's method. Key milestones include the 2013 introduction of an Elementary program for ages 6–12, the 2016 foundation of the Association Montessori Morocco affiliated with the Association Montessori Internationale, and the 2018 opening of the CIL Campus in the city center. In 2020 the Adolescent program opened at the House of Youth, and EMC earned British School Overseas accreditation in 2022 and Pearson Edexcel accreditation in 2023.
EMC fosters a connected community with regular parent-focused activities and cultural celebrations. Weekly afternoon sessions welcome parents and toddlers (ages 1–3) in a prepared Montessori environment. Parents are invited to observe the primary classroom, and there are 1–3 and 3-6 PARENT ED sessions for new and returning families; there are also Q&A sessions about the EMC Secondary Programme and its British qualifications. The community also celebrates diversity with events such as Winter Wonderland and Amazigh New Year, featuring music, dance, and a Moroccan pavilion.
