Public schools in Mozambique are notoriously understaffed, and the language of instruction is Portuguese, which means public schooling may not be the preferred option for expat children. Fortunately, there are a few international schools in Mozambique that offer a diverse range of curricula. The majority of these schools are located in major cities such as Maputo and Beira.

Below are some of the most popular international schools in Mozambique.
