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.
Safia Trabelsi, Head of School, spent nearly 15 years working in human development and human rights with the United Nations and other international organisations. The Nile River Montessori journey started when she was looking for a preschool for her daughter and quickly realised the need to start a progressive preschool to serve the community. Montessori Education is an organic and progressive method that places the child at the heart of the system, helping children reach their full potential at their own pace with respect for their personality and desire to learn. Families are invited to visit and learn about the programme, and Safia is happy to sit down with them and answer questions. © 2018 Nile River Montessori.
The school has a global community with over 130 children, over 105 families, and 25 nationalities represented. Voices From Our Community features parent perspectives.
Nile River Montessori is a bilingual Montessori preschool and school in Cairo, Egypt, serving children from 0 to 12 years old. The curriculum follows Montessori principles, with Casetta for 14 months to 3 years, La Casa for 3–6 years in English, and Elementary for 6–12 years using Cosmic Education to illuminate the universe. The school places movement, language development, independence, and social collaboration at the heart of learning, with mixed-age groups where older children inspire younger ones. Teachers hold internationally recognized Montessori diplomas, many trained through AMI. Classrooms feature living plants, animals, and hands-on materials, and art, science, geography, and biology are woven into daily activities. The environment emphasizes practical life, sensorial work, and cultural studies, all within an English immersion setting. Nile River Montessori engages in community service and partnerships to promote Montessori in Egypt. Safia Trabelsi, Head of School, invites families to visit and learn about the programme.
