Elizabeth Moir School

Founded in 1996, the school is an independent, co-educational institution owned and run by British nationals. It is committed to small class sizes, individual attention, and a progressive international curriculum that balances modern innovation with a traditional focus on core skills. The school aims to foster independent enquiry, intellectual curiosity, and a respect for learning within a multicultural, family-oriented environment.

The school follows a British-based curriculum adapted to the local context. The Junior School focuses on literacy and numeracy, incorporating subjects such as Art, Music, Drama, and PE. The Senior School offers a structured progression through Forms 1-3, the two-year IGCSE course in Forms 4 and 5, and the GCE Advanced (A Level) programme in the 6th Form. A wide range of subjects is offered, including sciences, mathematics, humanities, and languages.

The school has a strong record of academic achievement, with students regularly securing placements at top-tier universities globally, including Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Yale, and Stanford.

Additionally, curriculum support classes are available for students who require assistance in specific subjects or who have joined mid-year, with tailored support provided by specialist teachers.

The school welcomes applications for students aged two and a half and above. The admissions process involves an entrance test in English and Mathematics for students from KG1 upwards, while younger applicants participate in an interview. Admission decisions are based on test performance, previous school reports, and an interview with the Head of School, with the institution aiming to assess future potential alongside academic attainment.
