The Cairo British School

Cairo British School will open its doors to pupils in September 2005; initially taking students from the age of 3 to 11, pupils up to the age of 18 will be admitted in subsequent years. The school will use a child-centered approach where each one is enabled to fulfill his or her potential. The National Curriculum of England will be offered, covering English, mathematics, science, information and communication technology, geography, history, design technology, art, music, physical education, modern foreign languages and religious studies. All classrooms are furnished to a high standard and the school is well resourced where children are encouraged to experience their learning through physical activities. Children's achievement will be assessed on a regular basis to ensure that they are making progress. In years 2, 6, and 9 the school will participate in the Standard Assessment Tasks or tests as set out by the British Government. CBS will also carry out the National Curriculum optional tests as the children progress through the school. As the school expands to take older children, it will also offer a variety of two-year GCSE and IGCSE courses. Success in the end of course examinations will give the students qualifications which are internationally recognized and accepted. CBS is founded and managed by the Thebes Educational Group, a long established educational organization in Egypt.
