Le Bocage International School will be opening a new secondary campus at Savannah Connected Countryside as from January 2027.

Located in facilities developed by Savannah, the school will welcome its first cohort of students in Form 1, initiating a phased development plan with the addition of one new level at each subsequent academic year. Enrolments are now open for the 2027 intake.

This new campus marks an important milestone for Le Bocage International School, a well-established provider of international education in Mauritius for over 30 years. Through this expansion into the south of the island, the school aims to broaden access to high-quality international education and respond to a growing demand that its Moka campus has been unable to fully accommodate for several years. Families seeking an excellent academic environment outside the traditional urban hubs will now have an alternative option in Savannah, alongside Moka.

Developed in partnership with Savannah Connected Countryside, the Bocage | Savannah Campus is part of a medium-term vision to bring educational infrastructure closer to residential areas while supporting the balanced development of the southern region.

“Open to all students, this new institution represents a major opportunity for families in the south—as well as for those from other parts of the island wishing to benefit from Bocage’s educational expertise in a natural and attractive setting. The recent commissioning of the new road link between Cascavelle and La Vigie now facilitates travel from the west and central regions, making the campus easily accessible to a wider community,” said Vincent Lagesse, Head of Savannah Territorial Development.

Initially, students will be accommodated at Savannah International School, where four classrooms will be dedicated to them, with access to existing facilities including the library, art room, and spaces adapted for scientific and practical activities. Phase 1 of the permanent campus, representing an investment of MUR 150 million, will begin shortly, with completion scheduled for January 2029.

The Bocage | Savannah Campus will offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes — the Middle Years Programme (MYP), Diploma Programme (DP), and Career-related Programme (CP).

Recognised for its student-centred approach, Le Bocage International is an IB world school and currently welcomes a diverse school community representing more than 30 nationalities, of which 90% are Mauritian. With a student–teacher ratio of 9:1 and an average class size of around 25 students, the school ensures personalised support. As a member of the Global Schools Programme supported by the United Nations, Le Bocage also integrates sustainable development principles at the core of its teaching.
