As the worlds of technology, science, and information explode around us, we are committed to arming all our students with competence: a competence that is derived from a combination of knowledge and strength of character. Mastery of skills alone will not be enough to excel in the coming age. Students will need to make informed decisions and be self-directed learners and thinkers if they are going to succeed in the modern global society.
In addition to this important preparation, we are also committed to preserving our Middle Eastern ethics, culture, and religions. This is a formidable task. At NAIS, we meet this challenge with vigor, determination, and hope. NAIS began admitting students in 1994. We now enroll more than 880 students from KG to 12 th grade. Our first group of seniors graduated in 1996. These pioneering graduates were admitted to both private and public universities in Egypt and abroad.
Nefertari International School provides its students with challenging programs of international education while maintaining their cultural identity as Egyptians. NIS strives to create a disciplined, safe, happy, and caring atmosphere that encourages students to be responsible, confident, compassionate, and well-informed citizens who contribute to their local and international community. Our goal:
- To stay current in all fields of education.
- To provide experienced trained British staff utilizing effective teaching resources in an Egyptian context.
- To inspire in our students an excitement for the acquisition of knowledge, while planting the seeds of life-long learning.
- To train students to think critically about problems and issues, conduct independent research, organize and implement projects both individually, and as a part of a group.
- To provide extra-curricular activities, which complement students learning by providing interesting, and challenging opportunities outside the normal classroom environment.
- To emphasize the sense of belonging to our culture, by nationalizing our social studies curriculum.
- To teach our students ethics, good behavior, healthy habits, as well as being proud of our Egyptian identity and culture.
