Maadi British International School

[EduCativ]

MBIS is a well-established and highly respected school in Cairo, offering a first-class education to expatriate children. Our friendly, multi-cultural school truly represents the spirit of internationalism with nearly 330 children aged 2 to 13 years from 40 different countries.

The highly experienced British staff and small class sizes ensure individual attention, excellence in teaching, and enjoyment of learning. Our children also benefit from specialist teachers in ICT, music, second languages, drama, and PE. We combine high standards with a rich and broad range of learning experiences based on the English National Curriculum.

Our very attractive, well-resourced, and stimulating learning environment encourages children to explore, question, experiment, build confidence and acquire independence. At MBIS, children quickly identify themselves as enthusiastic and effective learners, fully developing their potential within a framework of caring values and mutual respect.

MBIS provides a secure environment for children adjusting to relocation or starting school for the first time. Our door is always open. We recognize that parents and teachers need to work together to ensure all our children enjoy a happy and successful time.

Maadi British International School provides children with the knowledge, skills, and understanding that will empower them to be well-rounded, successful members of an ever-changing, culturally diverse world community. At Maadi British International School we are committed to providing a happy, positive learning environment where children, teenagers, and adults are:

• Successful independent and collaborative learners
• Confident, cooperative team players and responsible leaders
• Flexible, resourceful, and resilient
• Reflective, honest, and trustworthy
• Responsible, caring global citizens

The English National Curriculum (ENC) is widely regarded as a rigorous program that ensures a high-quality provision. It is recognized and valued by the international community. As a British school overseas, our curriculum is firmly based on the ENC and fully reflects recent changes made by the UK government. Equally, our curriculum is very much a learning program for the 21st century, carefully tailored to meet the needs of our global students. In other words, whilst the ENC directs what to teach, our curriculum provides a unique vehicle of delivery, the how to teach.

At MBIS, the programs of study carry the learning objectives of the ENC through topics that have real appeal and relevance to the children. The children are truly ‘hooked’ by what they are learning and consequently, their motivation, application, and quality of learning are all enhanced. In our creative curriculum, the teaching is thematic, with subjects across the curriculum meaningfully linked, supporting children’s understanding of ‘the big picture. Learning is making connections and our creative curriculum explicitly supports this.

MBIS has a deserved reputation for the highest academic standards and a caring and inclusive approach to education. Expansion and relocation have allowed us to combine this with excellent facilities including spacious classrooms, an indoor 25m swimming pool, multi-purpose hall and theatre, two computer suites, a science laboratory, art and design center, a cookery room, a specialist Nursery section, and well-equipped play facilities.

With each stage of our growth, we have built confidently upon our achievements to enhance the learning experiences of our children. A future-focused approach to school development will ensure the continued success of MBIS.
