Highlands School of Egypt

The school promotes leadership, individuality, and the pursuit of knowledge and creativity within a safe and inclusive environment. It emphasizes honesty, transparency, and ethical conduct in all academic and social interactions. The institution strives to build global citizens who are determined to shape a new era through a deep appreciation of diverse perspectives.

The American Division follows the Common Core Standards and other leading curricula from Pre-K to Grade 12. The British Division, established in 2021, delivers the Cambridge National Curriculum supported by the UK National Curriculum from Pre-Foundation Stage to Year 9. Both divisions incorporate mandatory National Arabic, Religion, and Social Studies courses to meet Egyptian Ministry of Education requirements, with all other subjects taught in English.

The school aims to build competent, responsible global citizens who possess a deep understanding of different cultures and perspectives. Both the American and British programs are designed to meet the needs of students planning for higher education in Egypt or abroad. Graduates are encouraged to take pride in themselves and contribute positively to their communities.

The school is committed to providing a nurturing and inclusive environment that supports the individual needs of every student. The leadership team and staff work collaboratively to provide high-quality instruction and foster a culture of respect and lifelong learning. Additionally, the school emphasizes the importance of safeguarding and maintaining clear communication with parents to support student well-being.

The school manages admissions through a dedicated office that invites prospective families to tour the campus or submit an application online. The process requires the submission of an application form, and the admissions team typically contacts families within two to three working days. Tuition fees are payable in four installments for most students, with a three-installment plan available for preschool, and a sibling discount is offered for the second and third child.

The academic calendar includes scheduled holidays and events, though all dates are subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances. The school year incorporates designated Continuing Professional Development (CPD) days, which are non-school days for students. Specific dates for these events and holidays are managed separately for the American and British divisions.

The 13,500-square-meter campus features a three-floor building with a capacity for 1,470 students. Key facilities include four libraries, six fully equipped science labs, two media centers, and four computer labs with internet connectivity. For physical education and recreation, the school provides soccer, basketball, volleyball, and tennis courts.

Students are encouraged to participate in a range of activities designed to enrich their school experience and foster personal growth. These include sports, such as soccer, basketball, volleyball, and tennis, as well as student council, community service, and various school trips. The school also hosts cultural and social events, including an annual winter festival and art festivals, to celebrate the community and student achievements.
