Togther We Can

 The School brings a unique blend of both British and Egyptian curricula. 

Students are prepared from an early age to undergo these challenging curriculums which would help them to continue their educational pathway in Egypt or abroad after graduating.

The curriculum's structure is known as the Cambridge Pathway. It consists of four stages and gives students a clear path to educational success from the age of 5 to 19. 

This Curriculum includes mainly the study of key subjects: English, Math, and Sciences.

To help build a "global perspective" foundation for a successful future, we offer learners the study of human culture and society, through subjects such as art, and foreign languages: French and German are offered from the Foundation stage.

We also care to blend the study of international Social Studies presented in  History and Geography (available in KS1 and 2) parallel with the Ministry of Education courses including Arabic Social Studies, Civics, and Citizenship beside the Arabic and Religion subjects (Core).

These include study areas, for example, several paintings, model making,  applying the curriculum content to the local context,  and using the resources available.
