El Massria Integrated Schools in Egypt has been one of Egypt's leading schools since it opened its doors to its first 70 students in 1990. Today, EIS has three campuses, with a combined student population of over 4000 students. EIS Egypt is accredited by the Northwest Accreditation Commission NWAC, a group of ten American and British schools spanning six countries and three continents. In partnership with the school community, our mission is to provide eligible students, primarily from the Middle East and living in the Greater Cairo area, with a challenging American and International college preparatory education. Our caring, professional faculty strives to empower our students to become critical, independent thinkers with the skills to be dynamic participants in an ever-changing global society.
The world of El-Massria Integrated School is one of honoring traditions and celebrations of the various cultures and beliefs that our world has to offer. Our mission in instilling such Egyptian values as accepting diversity, respecting the individual, working together, and following best practices in National and American education. Our mission is clear we challenge and assist students to become intellectually adept, thoughtful, and ethical contributors to society.
We believe the greatest gifts we can give our students are not only strong academic skills but to help them to become ethical individuals of sound character. As educators, we do this best by providing them with an outstanding standards-based academic program and at the same time by modeling life skills such as kindness, cooperation, and perseverance.
Caring and experienced teachers work diligently to ensure that all students have a smooth transition from home to school and progress successfully through the meticulously developed curriculum. Our small class sizes allow for maximum teacher/student interaction, assisting students to learn to solve problems, create products and make meaning out of information in an American educational context.
English skills are developed through interaction with teachers and fellow students, alongside intensive reading programs and reading marathons. A reading buddy program has been developed whereby older students are paired with younger Elementary students to share skills and develop confidence. Our students are expected to speak English while in school, even during lunch and playtime. This helps build vocabulary and fosters the long-term retention of language skills.
EIS offers a rich and rigorous interdisciplinary curriculum that stimulates creative inquiry, intellectual achievement, independent thinking and encourages students to make positive contributions to others. The EIS community instills values such as patience, integrity, courage, and kindness. This is taught through cooperative education, the latest technology, and a House System.
