The Canadian International School of Egypt is dedicated to working in partnership with parents and students to provide a world-class teaching and learning environment to develop students as inquiring, knowledgeable, creative, and caring citizens of a global society. The Model United Nations trip was both informative and entertaining. On the first day in Geneva, Switzerland the team explored the old district, walked by the lake, and enjoyed a delicious Italian lunch together. All whilst there was a two-man band playing music right behind us.

This year has started on a positive note for athletics here at CISE. The elementary swim team kicked off the season at Cairo English School this past October. The wolves, although low in numbers, swam hard to capture four top-three finishes in backstroke, freestyle, and breaststroke. Coaches Ms. Cara and Mr. Nduwayo worked hard with the athletes, refining skills and techniques to prepare athletes for competition. We look forward to seeing more from our athletes in the year to come.
The athletic department offers a wide range of sports for students looking for the competitive edge or simply to be a part of a club. Sports offered during the fall semester include boys and girls soccer, and elementary/secondary swimming for ages under 18 to under 12. Sports to look forward to in the winter include, basketball, volleyball, tennis, badminton, rugby, and track and field. We look forward to seeing all our wolves in action showing school pride and determination as they work towards their athletic goals.
