Hayah International Academy West is an international school in Egypt offering Pre-K to Grade 6 initially, with plans to grow to a full K-12 program. The 38,000 square meter campus combines ample outdoor space with modern facilities. Every classroom features a smart board or data projector, and ICT operates with open-source policies and BYO devices. Two computer labs, each with 25 computers, support digital learning, and iPads are used in PYP classrooms. Early childhood and elementary areas have dedicated playgrounds and green spaces to encourage exploration. The school provides IB programs across the continuum (PYP, MYP and DP) alongside an American Curriculum, with Cognia accreditation as an American school achieved by 2024. The campus includes a multi-purpose sports building, four outdoor fields, a semi-Olympic pool and a children's pool. The School Without Walls program, Arabic Culture Night, and the Character Education Initiative emphasize learning, culture, service, and wellbeing for students.
