Established in 1998 and located in El-Obour City. The Green Valley School (GVS) is a prominent private educational institute, catering for children from kindergarten (KG) to Thanaweya Amma/ (IGCSE).
GVS exposes children to a mixture of cultures through the teaching of Arabic, English, and German all in parallel. The GVS environment is set to ensure that children are motivated, interested, and confident. They are secure enough to escape their comfort zone yet disciplined to adhere to boundaries.
GVS dedicates itself to developing open-minded and lifelong learners through its diverse and challenging educational system. The increasing need to challenge young children to discover, experiment, and learn about the multicultural world around them is becoming a must and not an asset anymore.
Through its distinctive trilingual education, GVS provides its students with the tool needed to challenge convention and to establish new benchmarks which allow students to be part of a world with no limits. For a child, learning a second or a third language is not more difficult than learning just one. Learning new languages at young ages is greatly beneficial not only because of the children’s receptivity to such but also because of how languages differ from each other. This further boosts the child’s understanding of these languages. Learning German alongside English, the child’s understanding and appreciation of German is further enhanced.
Other benefits of learning three languages simultaneously are vast Children’s creative thinking skills and cognitive flexibility are developed dramatically traits that GVS finds particularly important. Through the study of these languages, students are exposed and asked to master different contexts of communication. They are required to do so regularly and this develops their communication skills considerably.
Bilingual/Trilingual teaching will also stimulate a child’s urge to expose oneself to diversity and discomfort experienced. In addition, a multilingual environment exposes a child to a variety of unlike cultures. He will be exposed to unusual perspectives and ways of thinking and will come to truly appreciate his home culture. These endeavors inspire our vision: "TO BECOME AN AUTHENTIC TRILINGUAL SCHOOL"
This vision has shaped the education provided by the school since it was founded. It is a vision that continues to dictate every aspect of school life today. Arabic, English, and German are taught in parallel. Every effort is made to develop students’ sensitivity and fluency in these languages and to ensure that they receive full benefit from their extensive linguistic education.
