Our goal is to impart the academic knowledge and life skills that our students need to become critical thinkers and problem solvers to excel academically, and also to instill the values of respect, responsibility and a collective consciousness. We teach for life to allow our students to succeed beyond their schooling and become positive contributors as citizens of their communities at large.
University Requirements
Student entrance to universities (local or international) requires the students to achieve scores that are based on 60% from standardized testing and 40% from school course work. The school provides intensive and professional standardized testing preparation classes beginning grade 9 to prepare students to tackle the exams and achieve the best results.
To be granted admission to any institute of higher learning in Egypt, students must receive minimum scores as stipulated annually by universities.
Students graduation scores are calculated by taking 40% of the top 8 marks received in grade 10 (max. of 1 grade), grade 11 (max. of 3 grades) and grade12 (min. of 5 grades), and 60% of the standardized test score.
Passing marks and subject requirements are subject to change based on Egyptian Ministry of Education and university requirements. Individual consulting is conducted throughout the year with students and parents to estimate students’ graduation results and provide counseling with regard to university choices.
