Overview
Secondary students prepare for their final examinations and next steps, guided by family and educational counselling.
Curriculum
Secondary is offered at every branch except El Lebeiny. Students choose between the Thanaweya Amma system and the Egyptian Baccalaureate; Secondary 1 is a common year with the same subjects in both systems. In the languages schools maths and science are taught in English. The international school (MMIS) follows the American high-school curriculum together with the national subjects the Ministry requires.
Subjects
Secondary 1 (both systems): Arabic, First foreign language, Egyptian History, Philosophy & Logic, Mathematics and Integrated Science count towards the total; Religious Education, Second foreign language, Physical Education and Programming & AI do not.
Thanaweya Amma (Secondary 2–3): Arabic and the first foreign language with Biology, Physics and Chemistry (Science), Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry (Maths), or History, Geography and Statistics (Literary).
Egyptian Baccalaureate: four tracks — Medicine & Life Sciences, Engineering & Computer Science, Business, and Arts & Humanities. Secondary 2: Arabic, First foreign language, Egyptian History and one track subject; Secondary 3: two advanced subjects of the track.
Teaching approach
Students prepare for university with focus and ambition. Family and educational counselling helps each student choose the system and track that suit them, alongside the STEAM programme and remedial classes.
Assessment
Thanaweya Amma: end-of-year exams set by the Ministry. Egyptian Baccalaureate: several exam opportunities a year to improve a subject grade instead of a second-round exam; Religious Education is pass/fail at 70%.
