Taymour English School

TES was established in the year 1991. The mission of the school is to provide myriad opportunities to each child. The school believes that each child is unique and special and is blessed with immense potential. The endeavor is to guide each child as he/she charters a route to happiness and excellence. The school makes a concerted effort to ensure that as the students set out on this exciting voyage of discovery, they enjoy every moment of their innocence and appreciate the power of inner strength.

The school’s andriol motto LOVE ONE ANOTHER is the cornerstone around which the character and personality of every child is molded. The school visualizes an educational system based on instilling ethical values, pursuit of excellence in all things and service to humanity. Thus, as the students step out of the sacrosanct precincts of their alma mater, they are armed with faith in themselves, belief in goodness and righteousness, fortitude to face the buffeting winds of change and a desire to serve humanity.

The TES is its steadfast belief that self discipline, hard work and integrity are the quintessential qualities in an individual. We do believe that our students will be harbingers of change in this angst ridden world. In some way, albeit a small way, they will influence or lead people with their grace, dignity, valiance and magnanimity.

The teachers lead the students to the portals of knowledge. A great deal of stress is laid on academic excellence. Our students get admission in the premier colleges and Universities of Egypt as well in International Universities of repute. The school plans and organizes a host of co-curricular activities to enable each child to discover and hone his/her talent. Achievements in these activities enable the students to enhance their self-esteem, harness their unbridled energy, experience the indescribable joy of achievement, and provides them avenues to be creative and innovative. The process of training and tutoring the students, the practice sessions, rehearsals etc. help them to imbibe the relevance of hard work, persistence, precision and perfection.

We believe that the world of tomorrow depends on how well we educate, challenge and nurture our children today. We pledge to promote the priority of education and the principles of integrity, positive self-esteem, self-respect, self-discipline and respect for the diversity of others. We commit to reduce the barriers that prevent our children from learning and to create family and community networks that will support their development. We encourage families, citizens, community organizations, schools and government to partner with us in creating a safe and positive learning environment for children.

TES offers a comprehensive and progressive program in preparing our students for the real world. Our low teacher-student ratio, small classes, and hands-on training are among the key features of our school. Our Teachers not only adhere to the International Curriculum in instruction, but whole-heartedly follow a holistic approach in teaching our students. At TES, our teachers do not ask our students what they want to be when they finish school, but rather what problems they want to solve in the real world. Our goal is to help develop a whole child with diverse skills and abilities.

The business of teaching and learning is at the heart of TES. We want all of our young people and teachers to enjoy their teaching and learning experience and to be in classrooms which are exciting, inspiring and challenging places where progress is rapid and sustained. Whatever the age or ability of students, we believe that they are entitled to imaginative and authoritative teaching of the highest quality which is planned and delivered according to their individual needs. We expect excellence from staff and students alike and work hard to ensure that this is a reality. High-quality continuing professional development (CPD) programs are in place in our school, and these are planned and reviewed to respond to the particular requirements of each establishment and the staff who work here. Best practice in teaching and learning is shared across the school, allowing the most effective innovations developed in one to be replicated elsewhere. Students benefit immensely from many shared activities which offer a wide breadth of experience to our young people. Our school is committed to providing all-ability, comprehensive education to students of all faiths and none, to students from vulnerable families and to those with special educational needs. There is a range of student interventions and enhancement programs which aim to ensure that every student fulfills his or her true potential. We expect our staff and students to prioritize the building of character, both as an end in itself and as a means to the achievement of academic excellence. Our ethos provides a backdrop to day-to-day life and provides the foundation for all that we do, encouraging high standards of behavior and creating a safe and secure environment where young people can thrive and feel valued, happy and confident.
