The school uses English as the first language of instruction, and the English National Curriculum provides the framework for teaching and learning; the curriculum spans from Early Years through Sixth Form, with Sixth Form introduced in September 2024. The school serves a multilingual community where most pupils are English as an Additional Language (EAL) learners, many of whom speak two or more languages. The curriculum is language-rich and inclusive, enabling all pupils to access high-quality learning while developing strong academic English alongside their home languages. French and Arabic are taught as foundation subjects in the primary phase (History, Geography, ICT, PE, Art, Music, French, Arabic, and PSHE), and EAL provision is embedded across the curriculum with explicit vocabulary teaching and targeted support as needed.
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.
