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.
The school delivers Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) as part of the curriculum. The Tutor System places each student in a Tutor group with a Form Tutor who meets daily and serves as the first point of contact for worries or concerns, monitoring social and academic progress. A Head of Secondary (Pastoral care) and the Deputy Principal lead pastoral care and provide additional support for students and families. The school prioritises wellbeing and positive relationships as central to learning and personal development. The Principal emphasises the ongoing commitment to ensuring the wellbeing of students.
Pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities will be given assistance to achieve their potential by differentiation of tasks, positioning in the classroom, equipment that supports progress and additional support where appropriate. No pupil or staff member should be made to feel uncomfortable because they differ from the majority, including disability or English as an additional language. Inclusion within the life of the School ensures an inclusive environment.
The medium of instruction used in all subjects is English, except Arabic, Social Studies/Civics and Religion, which are taught by Egyptian teachers. Starting in Primary 1, second foreign language instruction is offered with choices of French or German. If German is chosen, students may sit for the German Language DSD certificate after the 3rd Preparatory year.
The school is committed to the emotional and physical wellbeing of pupils, ensuring they are happy, healthy and safe. A Tutor System and PSHE programme support pupils' social and emotional development, with senior pastoral leads guiding support for students and families. The Behaviour Policy emphasises that pupils learn best when they feel safe and happy. The wellbeing of the community is underpinned by inclusive values and positive relationships across the school.
El Gouna International School is committed to safeguarding children and promoting their welfare from Foundation Stage to Year 13. There is a dedicated safeguarding team and comprehensive policies, including child protection and online safety.

Health and Safety policy documents also outline safeguarding responsibilities and procedures for reporting concerns.
El Gouna International School is a co-educational, non-selective day school on Egypt's Red Sea coast serving students aged 4 to 18. It runs two pathways under one umbrella: a British Section delivering the National Curriculum for England with English as the language of instruction, leading to Cambridge IGCSEs and AS/A Levels taught by British-qualified teachers; and a National Language School Section following the Egyptian Language School Curriculum with English instruction while Arabic, Social Studies/Civics and Religion are taught by Egyptian staff. The German Language DSD Programme is available in both sections. All subjects are taught in English, with Arabic-based core subjects taught in Arabic. The school is accredited by the Egyptian Ministry of Education and is a member of BSME and COBIS; it is an approved Cambridge (CAIE) and Edexcel (Pearson) exam center through the British Council. Two sections operate independently but join for morning assemblies and co-curricular activities. Facilities include a 25m pool, science and ICT laboratories, a canteen, a clinic, a small library hosting reading activities, a Little Free Library initiative, outdoor AstroTurf fields, a basketball court, and an indoor multipurpose hall.
