Dear parents,

At the Egyptian Schools we believe in every child’s right for an education that is curated specifically to every age’s needs. We believe that every stage of the Child’s life has its own learning that must be met for their proper development.

From this vision Roots and Wings was born as an institution that builds the child’s foundation and prepares them for their schooling journey. Roots and Wings pre-school makes sure that the child’s prepared on a foundational level to reach Foundational Stage 1 here at EFIS.

Again under the vision that with proper pre-schooling a child is prepared for their future schooling;

No admissions will be held for students who are graduating Roots and Wings to enter EFIS at The Egyptian Schools.

Admissions is now open for EFIS ElShorouk Campus for the academic year 2025/2026.

The procedure for EFIS admissions from Roots and Wings will be as follows:

1. Fill in the following form:

2. Fill in the online application for admissions:

Once they’ve planted their Roots, eventually they’ll have to spread their wings, to take off prepared and ready for life.

Best,

The Egyptian Schools.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

At the Egyptian Schools we believe in having an active role in the community. Since our mission & vision is teaching for life, our Helping Hands Charity Campaigns are designed to incorporate elements that would implement and enhance students life skills and the 6 keys.

With a focus on citizenship, these campaigns grow within our students respect for differences, empathy and awareness of surroundings, responsibility towards community, and an understanding of the concept of giving back, creating the cornerstones of a good citizen.

Through organized charity and community service programs our students’ learning includes but is not limited to:

– teamwork, project management & decision making

– critical thinking and reasoning

– fundraising & marketing

– public speaking and presentation skills

This is of course in addition to instilling the core sense of responsibility for those less fortunate than themselves in the community.

Each of the Egyptian Schools’ Helping Hands campaigns is student run and guided by mentor teachers and staff.

The following are the 7 campaigns for the 2023-24 academic year.

1) Donate to Educate (October- December)

This campaign aims to raise money for governmental students in the surrounding area to pay to sit for government exams. Last year we surpassed our target by more than double and were able to pay for 425 students. This year we aim to help 500 students and this year we have added a special garage sale to be help even more!! Students from grades 5,6 and 7 will lead this campaign.

2) ELS Foster (Ongoing Process)

ELS will be responsible for specific orphanages within the vicinity of each campus. Students from grades 10 and 11 will lead the Egyptian Schools community in working together to meet their needs through visits, activities, donations and fundraising. We look forward to our groundbreaking Foster Iftar in Ramadan!

3) Dolab el- Kheir (November -December)

The Egyptian Schools community will donate packaged clothing and blankets to various local orphanages as well as Masr El Kheir. Students help to organize, package and deliver the donations ensuring ways to make others happy. Grade 8 students will lead this amazing program targeting to collect and distribute 2500 pieces.

4) Kolena Mesa7araty (December through March)

This is a grand scale Ramadan bag campaign that targets specific rural areas. Students collect donations, buy items in bulk, and the entire school community helps pack and distribute the bags. With increasing costs we commit to meet a target of 1500 bags and have added donation of food items to our program. High school students from grades 10, 11, and 12 will lead the school community in this endeavor.

5) Carnival (March)

Students literally work to raise money for this campaign. Via a weekly school canteen students plan, fundraiser for, and produce their own play. Additionally grade 9 students organize an annual themed carnival. All profit from the plays and carnival are donated 100% to the entity chosen which will be announced later.

6) Family Day (December)

Following in the footsteps of their grade 9 peers, grades 5 & 6 are the organizers of this amazing family event that includes a marathon, sports tournaments, student shows and a bazaar. Elementary families from all branches join in creating core memories and contributing to charity!

7) Community Service (Ongoing process)

In addition to charity, each individual school is committed to various community service activities designed to engage students in interactive activities that go beyond money collection. You will receive more elaboration on these activities.

Note the timeline of the projects above and mark them on your calendars. Together, the Egyptian Schools Helping Hands community can make a tremendous change.

Best Regards,

School Administrati

Dear EBIS Distinguished Students, Parents and Educators,
Our engagement of all stakeholders (parents, students, and educators) is the keystone in our journey of continuous improvement, and it is one of our main goals this year as a school and a system.
By the end of each semester our school leaders come together to discuss the school SWOT analysis, including the points of strength and the points that need reinforcement in order to achieve our ultimate goal of continuous improvement, this analysis is based on a lot of important factors including the results of parents, students and teachers’ surveys, some focus groups held with stakeholders, analysis of students’ academic and behavioral progress, and day to day observation by leaders and quality control teams .
Overall, the data collected was very positive. The points of strength kept from last year included the strong school unified educational system and communication policy, as well as our sincere focus and attention to students’ discipline and well-being.
The points that showed development this year included increased Students engagement in activities and trips, remarkable collaboration in decision-making across various extracurricular activities, and the improvement in high school student’s involvement in career pathway fairs and workshops. We are proud that EBIS stakeholders voiced such trust in the school system, its rich skill- based academic curricula, and its caring staff members, teachers and leaders
There was also enthusiasm amongst respondents regarding efforts to advance improvement in certain areas including:
– Enhance the structure and implementation of the Character-Building program.
– Enhance our school library as an important resource for students learning.
– Promote greater parents engagement and collaboration.
– implementation of 21 skills in most of the academic subjects.

Continuous assessment and refinement of strategies will indeed ensure meaningful progress. We believe that collaboration with our valued parents is key to achieving success in these endeavors.

Thank you for your continued trust and support in our school. Together, we can make a positive difference in the lives of our students and build a stronger educational community.

Yours Sincerely

Mrs.Mervat Bassiouni
Superintendent
