Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Step 1. Register your child by printing the BASM Admission Form and returning it to the school, or by submitting details via the online contact form. To register interest and receive a callback from the school to discuss the application in more detail, complete the BASM Prospective Parents information form. A Registration Form 2025-2026 is downloadable for use in the process. Step 2. The admissions process includes age-appropriate interviews and, where applicable, entrance tests. Early Years (3+): All applicants attend an interview with the Head of School before formal acceptance. Primary (5–11): Applicants meet with the Head of School; in Years 5–6 a formal entrance test may be required. Secondary (11–18): Applicants and at least one parent attend a formal interview; a formal entrance test is required; prior school records are reviewed and English language proficiency is assessed. Step 3. Documentation: Provide the school records for the two preceding academic years and any documentation regarding English language proficiency. The school may contact the applicant's previous school prior to acceptance. Step 4. Waitlist: Class sizes are limited; there is a waiting list for full year groups. Waiting list placements are determined by the date of application, with early applications improving the chances of securing a place.
The school maintains a waiting list when year groups are full; places are limited and allocated on date order. If multiple applicants compete for a single place, the date of application determines priority; early applications are encouraged to avoid disappointment.
The British Academy School Marrakech (BASM) is a coeducational, non-denominational British Overseas School in Morocco, founded in 2019 as a philanthropic, not-for-profit enterprise. It provides English-language education and follows the English National Curriculum from the Early Years through to Year 13. The Early Years Foundation Stage (Nursery and Reception) is mapped to Key Stages 1–4, and a Sixth Form will be introduced in September 2024 for Years 12–13. Examinations culminate in Edexcel iGCSE and international A levels. The school serves ages 3 to 18 and uses the EYFS and the National Curriculum for England and Wales as the teaching framework. BASM is fully accredited as a British Overseas School and was the first British school in Morocco recognised by the UK Government. The proprietor is Professor Tariq Obaid. The campus offers science support and a range of extracurriculars, notably Chess Club and Football, underpinned by a strong pastoral care system and a House System to support pupil welfare and individual development.
