Egypt British International School (EBIS)

The school’s mission is centered on the core values of Enrichment, Empowerment, Excellence, Empathy, and Esteem. It aims to nurture the whole child by focusing on physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being while encouraging students to explore their potential and enhance their talents to meet the expectations of the modern world.

EBIS follows the British National Curriculum, adapted with an international perspective to suit the students' culture and heritage. The academic programme spans from Early Years through to IGCSE, with core subjects including English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities, ICT, and Modern Foreign Languages such as French and German. The school also emphasizes critical thinking and communication skills, supported by regular formative and summative assessments, including Cognitive Abilities Tests (CAT4) for students in Years 2 through 9.

The school is recognized by the UK’s Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) and holds BSO accreditation. Students are prepared for examinations conducted through Edexcel and Cambridge University International Examinations.

The school maintains a dedicated Learning Support and SEN Department led by a specialist head. Applicants with special needs or behavioral challenges are required to submit assessment reports during the admissions process so the school can evaluate whether its staff and resources can appropriately facilitate the student's learning needs.

The school is highly selective and enrolls students regardless of nationality, race, or gender, with priority given to siblings of current students and those from similar academic backgrounds. The admissions process includes an online application, a campus tour, and an assessment test in English and Mathematics for students in Years 1–12. Applicants must provide school records, including transcripts and any psychological or neurological evaluations, to determine if the school can accommodate their specific learning needs.

The academic year follows a standard international calendar, with the school year typically concluding for staff in late June. The school observes national holidays, such as Revolution Day in July. Detailed academic calendars for upcoming years are available for download on the school's website.

The school is located on the International Schools Campus (ISC) in New Cairo, which opened in 2006. The campus includes an auditorium used for school events and student activities, and is designed to support a range of academic, artistic, and athletic pursuits.

The campus is designed to facilitate a variety of extracurricular activities aimed at developing both the athlete and the artist within each student. The school also encourages student leadership and community engagement, as evidenced by the active student council, which organizes school-wide charity initiatives and fundraising events.
