El Gouna International School

Located in the beautiful seaside town of El Gouna on the Red Sea, only 25 km from Hurghada International Airport and approximately 4-hour drive to Cairo, El Gouna International School (EGIS) is an essential part of the community infrastructure for families who choose to settle down in this fully integrated and self-sufficient town, which includes a vibrant expat community. El Gouna is a project of Orascom Development and is known for being Egypt’s greenest and most environmentally friendly city, attracting tourists from around the world; featuring 18 hotels, numerous restaurants, bars and eateries, 3 marinas, as well as, a fully equipped international hospital. Cultural events and festivals are usually organised, such as the popular El Gouna Film Festival.

EGIS offers the British Curriculum, and the Egyptian Language School Curriculum as separate school sections, in addition to the German Language DSD Programme for students in both sections. EGIS is accredited by the Ministry of Education and is a member of the British Schools in the Middle East (BSME). Our school is also affiliated with the British Council as an approved center for Cambridge (CAIE) and Edexcel (Pearson) exams.

The international section at EGIS was established in 2006, offering a British standard education starting from EYFS, following the National Curriculum for England, leading to the International GCSEs and AS/A Levels which are taught by proficient British-qualified teachers. We are a one-form entry school ensuring that our students feel a sense of belonging to our tight-knit school community.

EGIS boasts a thriving National Section, providing language school education of the highest quality in the region since 1998. We offer our students access to international standard facilities at the most affordable cost. The medium of instruction used in all subjects is English except in Arabic, Social Studies/Civics and Religion which are taught by highly experienced Egyptian teachers.

At EGIS, our Mission is to challenge, inspire and empower each other to succeed in realising our fullest potential, by pursuing opportunities to become passionate life-long learners, prepared to contribute to this rapidly changing world.

Our Vision is to provide a world-class education enriched by international approaches in an atmosphere that empowers everyone to be self-critical, recognising the need for growth and change whilst constantly striving for excellence.

The two sections of El Gouna International School are working independent of each other but thrive under one umbrella, with both sections joining together regularly for morning assembly, major school events and co-curricular activities.
