Maadi British International School

Maadi British School, the forerunner of Maadi British International School, was established in 1987. It serves both the British and international expatriate communities in Cairo.

The Maadi British International School enrolls pupils from four to eleven years from over 30 nationalities. Approximately 45% of these pupils are British. Its curriculum, organization, ethos and philosophy emphasise British heritage, customs and culture while nurturing cross-cultural respect and understanding.

The curriculum is based on the English National Curriculum and, where appropriate, pupils are encouraged to develop beyond average National Curriculum levels. The school endeavours to ensure that current practices in the UK are administered throughout the school in a stimulating and caring environment by qualified teaching staff. Good teacher/pupil ratios are offered and specialist teachers ensure that all pupils have the maximum opportunities to attain their full potential whatever their ability level.

Maadi British International School is accredited by the Worldwide Education Service and has membership of the Incorporated Association of Preparatory Schools (IAPS). It is regularly inspected by UK inspectors. It is the school's aim to see that pupils are prepared for their future education in both the private and public sectors, in the UK and overseas. It provides a broad, well-balanced curriculum which includes academic, artistic, physical, and spiritual/moral development through the following: high academic standards and pursuit of excellence in all areas; the acquisition of knowledge and skills relevant to students' adult lives; a love of learning; questioning minds; self-discipline and good study habits; the ability to work as a team, initiative and independent learning; the ability to make informed, responsive decisions; self-respect and a sense of individual worth; personal qualities of imagination; an appreciation of beauty and human achievement and a respect of other peoples, cultures and religious beliefs.
