Our Philosophy

At Clavis we are passionate about education. We work hard to give our children experiences which provide them with a fantastic start in life and ensure they develop high aspirations for their future. We feel very privileged to work in such a vibrant and dynamic community as we recognize that the engagement of all stakeholders are an important aspect of a successful school.In essence, we feel our school is a place where children, staff and families are valued and all work together to ensure that children are challenged academically, inspired creatively and supported and fostered in their emotional development. With the correct balance, our pupils develop the self-respect and self-esteem they need to succeed in life.

Our Mission Statement

Clavis wants children to become critical thinkers and active, compassionate, lifelong learners, who have a voice and who are able to make informed choices as internationally-minded citizens of the world. Clavis seeks to achieve this by providing a challenging, relevant, significant curriculum, with a range of assessments that cover process as well as content. Our aim is to offer an inclusive, holistic education that values uniqueness in individuals, whilst understanding that other people can also be right.

Where we are in place and time

The Moka Campus

Clavis International Primary School's main campus is nestled at the foot of Mt. Ory in Moka, Mauritius. The campus serves students from Pre-Reception to Year 6. Clavis was founded in 1991 and authorized to offer the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP) since 2002.

The Beau Champ Campus

Our new satellite Beau Champ campus is located in the developing Anahita Beau Champ smart city, on the East Coast of Mauritius. Clavis Beau Champ is set to open its doors for the new school year starting in January 2025. It will start with Pre-Reception, Reception, and Year 1 classes, and continue to grow as needed each year. The Beau Champ campus is directly led by the pedagogical and administrative staff in Moka, and will function as an arm of the original school with the same educational programme and standards.

Regardless of which campus, Clavis International Primary School provides a holistic education for children in a uniquely stimulating, challenging environment. We aim to give our students the necessary skills, knowledge and attitudes to become internationally minded people of tomorrow's world.
