“New Cairo British International School has much to be proud of. It is a friendly, welcoming, safe and respectful oasis where each child is valued for his or her individual abilities and opinions. The sense of belonging to a community united in camaraderie permeates the hallways, classrooms and playgrounds.” CIS report, 2018
We provide high-quality education through the following curriculums at NCBIS: Early Years Curriculum in line with UK expectations; Primary Years Programme from Years 1-6; English National Curriculum in Key Stage 3; GCSE / IGCSE in Key Stage 4; International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in Key Stage 5 and the Dutch National Curriculum from Groep 1-8.
At NCBIS, your child will receive an education based on the best of British values and traditions but one that is designed to foster an international mindset. This is manifested in our formal curriculum which fuses the best of British and International programmes to allow our students to acquire the appropriate learning skills.
The reason I like NCBIS so much is that it’s a warm, caring school environment where we don’t think in obstacles or impossibilities. Anything is possible unless we find out we can’t do it. And by then at least we would have tried and gain experience for the next time to succeed.
Moving to a new country can be stressful especially with young children and finding the right school is one of the factors that alleviates that anxiety. We viewed several schools and absolutely loved the enclosed Early Years section at NCBIS. Every element is child centered and focused on preschoolers feeling safe, playing and learning.
We chose NCBIS because its curriculum is very practical and dynamic. It exposes children to the challenges that the children will face in the real world and encourages innovation and critical thinking. The exposure to ICT is very important as it prepares children to the fourth industrial revolution.
