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.
School Uniform: Students are required to wear the school's uniform. If a student arrives to school out of uniform, they will not be allowed to attend class unless a parent/guardian brings a proper uniform; torn, dirty, stained, or uniforms in disrepair will not be allowed. The School recommends that students have labels on their clothes, so that it is easier to return them when they are found.
Lunch: Students have a choice of entrees in our school canteen; we try to offer healthy choices.
The International American School of Alexandria (IAS) offers Kindergarten through Grade 12 on an American curriculum in English, with native-speaker staff guiding the language arts program. Classical Arabic is taught as a native language, alongside formal Egyptian National Studies, including Egyptian History, Religion, and Arabic. ESL supports students who need English language development, while French begins in Grade 1 and Spanish is offered in Grade 9. Founded by Mr. and Mrs. Ashraf Wahby, IAS started as a hopeful vision for Egypt's children and grew from a nursery into a K–12 community. In the mid-2000s land was acquired, and by 2006 the school expanded to Grades 1–6, with facility additions. Plans for a swimming pool, indoor cafeteria, gymnasium, and auditorium were complemented by new classrooms, science labs, and a library. The school emphasizes leadership, service, and character through its Honor System and co-curricular offerings, including academic, cultural, and language activities.
