The curriculum at CES follows the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum leading to the English National Curriculum through to IGCSE at the end of Year 10. After successfully completing IGCSE examsstudents can choose to take A Levels (the traditional British route into University) or theincreasingly valued IB Diploma. The curriculum is rigorous and will allow students to enter the best Universities around the world. Although CES is English in character and curriculum, it is sensitive to its location. The school therefore delivers the necessary Ministry of Education curriculum in Arabic, Egyptian Social Studies and Religion to its Egyptian students and Arabic as a Foreign Language to non-Arabic speakers. The school also takes students to places of interest around Cairo (e.g. the Egyptian Museum, the Pyramids of Giza and Garbage City), linking these trips to the curriculum we follow. The school undertakes trips overseas eg Skiing in Switzerland, trips to London, Oxford and Paris.Thus CES ensures all students leave the school with a deep understanding of the local and international culture. All our teachersare fully qualified with an initial degree as well as a teaching qualification and three years experience. Most of our teachers are from the UK, but we do have teachers from other countries adding to CESs internationalism.
