Northfields International High School

What Northfields International High School does

Northfields International School is a private international school in Labourdonnais Village, Mapou, Mauritius, founded in September 2001 by a group of eight parents from the North of Mauritius. It serves Mauritian and expatriate families seeking internationally recognized education from 18 months through 18 years, delivering the full IB continuum (PYP, MYP, IGCSE, and IB Diploma Programme) as core academic programs, supplemented by Cambridge IGCSE at Years 10-11 and a broad set of extracurricular offerings including the Duke of Edinburgh Award, Model United Nations, Eco School, Sports, and a counselling and wellbeing programme.

The school operates on Inspired Education Group's shared digital infrastructure rather than proprietary technology: ManageBac for IB CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) tracking and curriculum management, Kognity for online science textbooks, OpenApply for admissions processing, and ISAMS for the parent portal. Northfields is a member of Inspired Education Group, a global network of 115+ schools across 6 continents serving 85,000+ students, which provides access to student exchanges, summer camps, leadership conferences, and the Inspired Scholarship Programme.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring annual tuition fees, structured by year group (Pre-Nursery through Year 13) and differentiated between Mauritian nationals and Expatriate families. Go-to-market is sales-led direct enrollment through on-campus tours, open events, the OpenApply admissions platform, and the website, supported by organic social media marketing across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube. No revenue is publicly disclosed.
