Lycée Lyautey

What Lycée Lyautey does

Lycée Lyautey is a French international secondary school located in Casablanca, Morocco, operating under the AEFE (Agence pour l'Enseignement Français à l'Étranger) network within the French Ministry of Education's direct management framework. Founded in 1921 (with educational roots in Casablanca dating to 1907), the school delivers Collège (6ème to 3ème) and Lycée (Seconde to Terminale) programs following the French national curriculum, including preparation for the Diplôme National du Brevet, Baccalauréat général, Baccalauréat STMG, and Baccalauréat Français International. The institution serves approximately 3,600 students with 280-290 qualified teachers (supplemented by ~30 EMAD Arabic-language teachers provided by the Moroccan Ministry of National Education) and ~145 administrative, health, and technical staff, occupying an 8-hectare campus at 260 Boulevard Ziraoui plus facilities on the Beaulieu plateau. It is the flagship of the Pole Casablanca-Mohammedia, a group of 8 AEFE-managed schools serving ~8,500 students regionally.

The school's core technology stack is administrative and pedagogical rather than transformative: Pronote handles student information management, and the Eduka Suite platform supports school administration, fee processing, and online payments. The flagship pedagogical innovation is N³ (Nature, Numérique et Nomadisme), a 200 m² outdoor learning laboratory combining connected aquaponics, urban vegetable gardens, and renewable energy installations with digital tools, engaging ~700 students annually and recognized with the AEFE e-nov niveau 2 label in 2026. Beyond core academics, the school operates a wide extracurricular surface including the Centre Sportif Nawal El Moutawakel, Radio Lyautey, the Brigade des Jeunes Secouristes, the Fondation Lycée Lyautey for civic engagement, and the ACSM school cooperative.

The business model is direct-to-consumer tuition-based, with families enrolling through the school's website and the Eduka platform. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is set within the AEFE framework for French schools abroad, billed annually. Scholarship (bourses scolaires) programs from AEFE subsidize access. Revenue is supplemented by French government funding through AEFE and the Pole coordination structure. Academic outcomes are a key value proposition, with reported baccalauréat success rates of 99%+ (Série générale 99.3%, Série STMG 100%) in the 2026 session and 83% of students receiving mentions in 2024, alongside EF3D Level 3 (Expertise) sustainable development certification.
