About school

What we believe

We believe that…

  • Every child can learn and every child can shine, given the right support.
  • Every child is different. We teach the learner, not only the lesson.
  • Kind, respectful relationships between students, teachers and families are where learning grows.
  • Differences make us stronger. We value every voice, culture and talent on our campus.
  • Wellbeing comes first. Children learn best when they feel safe, known and settled.
  • Character matters as much as grades. Our five values guide how we learn, behave and celebrate.
Vision

Teaching for life — not just for school.

Mission

To give every student the knowledge and life skills to think critically, solve problems and work together; to excel academically; and to grow into effective, conscious leaders who contribute to their communities.

Our commitments

To every family, we promise to:

  • Know your child. A homeroom teacher follows each child’s progress, wellbeing and attendance.
  • Teach well. A British curriculum on Cambridge frameworks, from Year 1 to IGCSE.
  • Keep children rooted. Arabic, Religion and Social Studies follow the Egyptian Ministry of Education.
  • Support every learner. Teacher office hours and extra help when a child needs it.
  • Build character. Five values, taught and recognised every week through our Houses.
  • Keep children safe. Clear routines, supervision and a child protection policy that every adult follows.
  • Tell you early and plainly. Calendar, reports by email, Meet the Teacher and Open House days.
  • Give every child a stage. Clubs, student media, trips and community campaigns.
  • Celebrate achievement. Houses, values recognition and results we are proud to share.
  • Grow our teachers. Regular lesson visits, feedback and professional development.

Care and wellbeing

Every class has a homeroom teacher who follows each child’s progress, wellbeing and attendance. Year-group supervisors work alongside them, and parents always know who to contact. Clear routines and positive behaviour expectations mean children feel safe, settled and ready to learn.

Our Story

  • 1994 — The Egyptian Schools open in New Cairo and begin to teach for life.
  • 2023 — EBIS El Shorouk opens, alongside the American section, EAIS — one campus, two sections.
  • June 2026 — Our IGCSE class sits Cambridge, Pearson Edexcel and Oxford AQA exams: 88% achieve at least one A or A*.
  • 2026–2027 — Four Houses — England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland — and five shared values come to life across the campus.
  • 2027–2028 — Our fifth year on the Shorouk campus. Admissions open for Year 1 to IGCSE.

Our IGCSE students made us proud:

  • 88% of IG1 and IG2 students achieved at least one A or A*
  • 56% of all grades were A* or A
  • 90% of all grades were C or above
  • In six subjects — Mathematics, English, ICT, Combined Science, Biology and Accounting — our A*/A rate was at least double the Cambridge world average

Every student and every teacher belongs to one of four Houses: England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. Houses compete in sports days, challenges and recognition moments across the year.

Everything we do is built on five values: Kindness & Gratitude, Honesty, Collaboration, Citizenship and Resilience. We recognise them, we teach them, and we celebrate the students who live them.
