Westcliff International School is an international day school in Giza, Egypt, serving students aged 3 to 18. It offers two parallel, language-rich curricula: an American program culminating in a High School Diploma and an English-speaking British program following Key Stages, with the International GCSE path from Year 10 and options for A‑levels. The school also provides a DELF-certified French program, developed in partnership with Institut français d'Égypte, with DELF exams at A1, A2, B1 and an optional B2 in upper grades. A distinctive feature is the Trilingual Experience, teaching Arabic, English, and French as first languages with equal timetabled hours. Canadian methodologies influence teaching, emphasising critical thinking and individualized learning, without adopting a Canadian curriculum. Founded by Dr. Omar Nassar, the school promotes a community-centric ethos under the motto An Education for a Lifetime, blending heritage with modern international standards and a commitment to university preparation through ACT/SAT or A‑levels.
