Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. The admissions process begins in June each year. Open days are held from April through the end of May for parents to tour the school and apply for their children. These days provide an opportunity to learn about the IGCSE program and to begin the application process. The admissions cycle targets new entrants for the forthcoming academic year.
2. Fill an application form either online or from the IGCSE schools reception when you visit the campus. After completing the form, submit it to the manager's office for the relevant campus: Mrs. Eveleyn Ibrahimi (Agouza), Mrs. Moshira Shady (IG Zamalek), or Mrs. Ghada Abdalla (Pre IG Zamalek). The submission should include four passport-size photos of the child, a copy of the birth certificate (new version with national number), and the most recent report from the nursery or current school.
3. An admission fee of LE 2,500 is required after filling an application form and before sitting the Admittance Exam. This amount is non-refundable unless the school declines your application. The application fees are non-refundable.
4. The school will inform you of the admission exam date. The exam will assess the applicant's level in English and Maths. This information helps determine eligibility for the next step.
5. If the applicant passes the admission exam, the school will inform you of the date of the interview with Mrs. Nawal EL Degwi. The interview is part of the selection process.
6. After acceptance, the rest of the first installment is paid. This payment completes the enrollment steps.
