Metropolitan School is being founded by a family with over 60 years of experience in the private education sector in Egypt.
Initially led by the late Mr. Fouad Habib, who was recognized for his contribution to education throughout his career, the family has consistently contributed to improving the standard of education in Egypt. Mr. Fouad Habib was first honored by President Gamal Abd El-Nasser and then, in 1979, he was awarded the pioneer of private education badge of honor by President Mohamed Anwar El-Sadat.
Dr. Sameh Fouad Habib continued the family’s vision, updating the curriculum by incorporating new technology and encouraging his teachers to instill a love of learning by introducing an inquiry rather than memorization philosophy into the schools. Dr. Habib is the representative of private schools in Cairo, a position he has held for more than 15 years, in recognition of his contribution to educational improvement.
Metropolitan School will be led by a new generation of this family, Mr. Seif Sameh, who aims to continue the journey of continuous improvement started by his Grandfather. Recognizing the need to build an international perspective, Metropolitan School will offer the American Curriculum whilst ensuring that its values are firmly grounded in the traditions of the Egyptian culture. It is this unique combination, which, the family believes, will deliver an outstanding education for tomorrow’s leaders.
The school’s curriculum has been developed in partnership with Dubai-based education consultants, BBD Education, who bring with them more than 20 years of international education experience.
What is the school’s greatest quality/ strength?
Metropolitan School is inspiring a generation of engaged thinkers, ethical citizens, and global entrepreneurs through student-centered active learning grounded within a standards-based American curriculum. We aim to remain focused on Egyptian values while equipping our students with both a passion for learning and the ambition to make a difference in the local and global communities. Metropolitan is proud to be the first post-secondary school in Egypt to offer entrepreneurship classes through the American-based Junior Achievement program. Our enthusiastic certified teachers are almost exclusively native English speakers, with exceptions for French and Arabic instructors.
