Sharm International British School is a private day school in Egypt offering the Cambridge CAIE curriculum from early years through Year 12. The curriculum follows Cambridge Assessment International Education programs, leading to Cambridge IGCSEs and Cambridge International AS & A Levels. Egyptian students also study the EMOE curriculum and sit Ministry exams in Arabic language, Religion, Social Studies and Citizenship. Promotion to the next year relies on internal assessments, Cambridge Checkpoint results, Cambridge IG subjects, and EMOE exams. Languages taught include French, German and Arabic, with Humanities, History, Geography, Social Studies and Literature integrated into the programme; computers are used across the curriculum to support learning. The school aims to develop students who are curious, reflective and able to work with information and ideas, prepared for future challenges and capable of making a difference. At the end of upper secondary, students gain Cambridge qualifications alongside the Egyptian national framework globally.
