ROLE SUMMARY:

Northfields International School is a premier independent co-educational day school in Mauritius that provides an English-medium education for over 1200 boys and girls aged between 18 months and 18 years.  Northfields is well known for its traditional values, family atmosphere, and sustained emphasis on the holistic development of each student. Excellence and leadership skills are fostered through their rigorous programme of academic study combined with dynamic and varied extracurricular activities and service as action programmes. Northfields is committed to inspiring our diverse learning community to make a positive impact as active global citizens.

The Northfields campus in Labourdonnais is situated on owned freehold property and incorporates numerous subject classrooms, dedicated science labs, computer suites, art studios, a design and Special Education Needs (SEN) and English as an Additional Language (EAL) support rooms.  Northfields offers internationally recognised educational programmes and qualifications for Cambridge, and International Baccalaureate. The curriculum progression at our school begins with the Montessori Pre-Nursery, fostering early development through hands-on, child-centred learning. Students then transition into the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) at NIPS, where they build a strong foundation in inquiry-based learning. From Primary School, students advance to Secondary School (Years 7–11), where they follow a rigorous curriculum that culminates in the Cambridge IGCSE examinations at the end of Year 11. In Sixth Form, students undertake the two-year IB Diploma Programme (DP), preparing them for global higher education opportunities and lifelong success.

Apart from being an authorised IB World School, the quality of Northfields is further bolstered through the school’s accreditation with the Council of International Schools (CIS) and memberships with the Independent Schools Association of Southern Africa (ISASA) and the Association of International Schools in Africa (AISA). Northfields is registered and licensed in Mauritius with the Ministry of Gender Equality & Welfare for our Pre-Nursery, with the Early Childhood Care and Education Authority (ECCEA) and the Ministry of Education and Human Resources for the Primary School and the Private Secondary Education Authority (PSEA) for our Secondary School.
