Nefertari British International School

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 ethic, culture, and religions. This is a formidable task. At NIS, we meet this challenge with vigor, determination, and hope. NIS began admitting students in 1994. We now enroll more than 1900 students from KG to 3rd Secondary. 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.

At Nefertari International Schools, NIS, we are committed to provide a supportive, happy and positive learning environment for all students to help them acquire the academic skills needed for further university education, in addition to implementing values and skills needed to become an active, balanced and compassionate citizen.
