Relocate

Schools & Education in Mozambique

School places drive relocation timing more than any other factor. We shortlist, apply and follow up until your child has a seat.

The options

Maputo offers the widest choice, including international schools following IB, British and American programmes alongside strong Portuguese-curriculum private schools. Provincial cities have far fewer options, which sometimes shapes the posting itself.

Timing and waiting lists

Popular year groups fill well before the academic year. Applying six to nine months ahead materially improves your chances, and we maintain a live view of which schools have movement.

Frequently asked questions

What does international schooling cost?

Fees vary substantially by school and year group, with registration, capital levies, transport and activities on top. We provide a full annual cost estimate per school.

Is schooling available in English?

Yes, several Maputo schools teach primarily in English, and most offer Portuguese as an additional language.
