An externally examined qualification
The IB Diploma is not marked by the school. Papers are set and graded by the International Baccalaureate, coursework is externally moderated, and the result is a number out of 45 that means the same in Cairo as it does in Toronto. That is the point of it: nobody has to take our word for how our students did.
Where our students go next
The Diploma is recognised by universities in more than ninety countries, and in many of them it carries advanced standing or course credit. Our guidance team works with students from the Middle Years onward, through subject choice, testing, applications and interviews.

How we get students there
Subject choice that keeps doors open
Diploma subject combinations are chosen with destination requirements in mind — medicine, engineering and law all have prerequisites that are painful to discover late.
Testing and applications
Support through SAT and any admissions testing a destination requires, through UCAS, the Common App and direct applications, and through the personal statement.
Egyptian equivalency
The Diploma is recognised by the Egyptian Ministry of Higher Education for admission to Egyptian universities. We handle the equivalency paperwork with families.
References that say something
Written by teachers who have taught the student for years, not assembled from a template in the final term.
Our open days are announced.
Four mornings across the year, each starting at 10:00. Walk the campus while lessons are running, meet the leadership team, and ask anything. Places are limited.
Around the school
Learning, sport, the grounds and the days in between.
