At ISC-Cairo, we consider the school as a dynamic production team. Administrators, teachers, and students are all contributors to this team. Knowledge and ideas are the product of the team effort. Since students are the ones who benefit most directly from the product, they should be most concerned that the product is of high quality. Everyone in a SABIS® Network school has a job to do everyone is accountable. Administrators, students, and staff "self-audit" to discover and correct errors. It is teamwork that allows every team member to reach heights that would be more difficult to reach individually.

The curriculum implemented at ISC-Cairo is specifically designed by SABIS® to provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to develop a solid academic foundation. This foundation will help students achieve their full potential and develop a love of lifelong learning. All courses for students at all levels are structured to enable students and teachers to know precisely what should be learned. Teachers teach one concept at a time using the SABIS Point System® with each lesson alternating frequently between oral work, individual work, and group work in such a way that it is difficult for students to “switch off.” Students engage in regular assessment using exams that teachers do not see in advance. Everyone in the school is accountable. Accordingly, students learn more in class and have more time for relaxation and fun after school.

All courses at ISC-Cairo are structured. A system of academic tracking - the SABIS® AMS, a computerized method of detecting gaps in knowledge - allows the administration to closely follow the progress of each individual. Gaps are pinpointed as soon as they form, and efforts are focused on eliminating them. Valuable time is saved and a gap-free, cohesive structure of knowledge is built in students' minds.

Emphasizing a well-balanced body of knowledge, skills, and experiences, the curriculum at ISC-Cairo specifies daily learning goals at all grade levels. In an atmosphere that fosters the development of a lifelong love of learning, students learn how to study and are given the support they need to develop a solid academic foundation.

Starting at Grade 1, our courses specify a minimum number of "units of information" that students need to learn. This minimum includes the simple concepts tested by the SABIS® AMS, as well as Basic Questions which test the material that "everyone should know."

The comprehensive SABIS® curriculum allows ISC-Cairo students to achieve more with less effort. Each year, graduates from SABIS® Network schools around the world gain entry to highly competitive universities in the U.K., U.S.A., Canada, Europe, Australia, and the Middle and the Far East. SABIS® Network schools pride themselves on the performance of their students at the most prestigious universities in the world including Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, MIT, Princeton, and Stanford to name a few.
