About

We inspire students to be lifelong learners who contribute positively within a diverse and changing world.

"I like AIS because it is clean, and it is one of the best schools in Egypt. It teaches us lots of information, and everyone there is friendly. That's what I love about AIS-West." ~ Grade 3 Student

Admissions

The Admissions office welcomes prospective parents and students, and introduces them to all that our school has to offer for those who are seeking an excellent education for their children.

"We guide, help, and support new students through the entire admissions process until final acceptance of candidates who have successfully met AIS - West admissions criteria.” ~ Admissions Office

Academics

It is our belief that students need to be active participants in their own learning. Our focus is on developing students who are socially and academically, well-rounded citizens of the world.

"I enjoy the community feeling created by faculty, parents, and students working together to create a positive learning environment. We cooperate for the best interest of the students, recognize the importance of building good character, and work to develop skills they will need to be successful citizens in the global community." ~ Elementary Teacher

Activities

The aim of the art program is to encourage students to discover new ways of meeting intellectual and artistic challenges.

"AIS - West has offered the opportunity for creativity for my son in so many ways. The variety of activities offered as well as their nature has pushed my son to spread his wings and discover his talents in more ways than I could wish for." ~ AIS West Parent
