Curriculum
Blended Education
Salahaldin International School (SIS) offers students a unique educational experience that blends American and international educational traditions with the rich culture and heritage of Egypt. SIS offers a mix of curricular and co-curricular activities, with a wide variety of programs to meet the needs and interests of its students.
Teaching Standards
SIS has collaboratively developed and continues to implement a curriculum based on clear, measurable learning goals. The curriculum is aligned with the Common Core standards and benchmarks. In Kindergarten, SIS offers a blend of Montessori and American curricula to maximize students’ benefits.
IB Diploma Program
In Grade 9, SIS students choose to graduate with either an American or IBDP diploma. The college counselor and academic team help students understand the difference between the two programs and make the best decision for their future. Students can also join a preparation program in Grade 10 to orient them for the IBDP in Grade 11.
Instructional Resources
SIS uses a variety of instructional materials, including Harcourt School Publishers (HMH) resources, which are aligned to curriculum standards used throughout all the school departments. Students are given many opportunities to practice their reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills through various online and offline educational resources, such as IXL, Think Central, and Holt McDougal.
Student Centered Learning
In 2017, SIS became one of the first schools in Egypt to take the Apple License and fully implement the Apple Classroom program for all grades 3 to 12.
SIS provides one of the most powerful college guidance systems, Bridge U, to help students choose the right college for their needs.
And More…
To prepare students to responsibly participate in and contribute to contemporary society as informed, aware, active, and caring citizens, they must be proficient in the use of the native language of the country. Thus, Arabic is given priority among the subjects.
In addition to the core academic subjects, SIS also offers a wide range of World Languages, including French and German, from grades 4 to 12.
A Learning Environment That Promotes Active Engagement
A Learning Environment That Promotes Active Engagement
At Salahaldin International School (SIS), we believe that students learn best through natural, meaningful, integrated experiences relevant to their lives. Our classrooms are child-centered and active, and students are expected to take an active role in their learning. We encourage them to experiment and think for themselves, and to use a wide range of materials and resources, working individually and in small groups.
Learning by Doing
One of the key ways that students learn at SIS is by doing. We believe that laboratory experimentation in Science, hands-on manipulation of math learning resources, and application of Language Arts skills in activities such as letter writing, conversational practice, oral presentations, and reading for information and entertainment are all effective ways to promote learning.
Developing Higher-Order Thinking Skills
In addition to learning by doing, we also focus on helping students develop their higher-order thinking skills. We do this through a variety of classroom strategies, such as class discussions and debates, problem-solving activities, research and project work, student presentations, and encouragement in taking leadership roles.
State-of-the-Art Facilities
SIS has a variety of state-of-the-art facilities to support our students’ learning and development. These facilities include technology-ready classrooms, well-equipped science labs, music and art rooms, a weight room, computer labs, department libraries, a multi-media room, an auditorium, and outdoor sports courts.
A Commitment to Individual Growth
At SIS, we believe that individual growth is the goal. We accept students’ differences and provide them with the support they need to reach their full potential. We are committed to providing our students with a well-rounded education that will prepare them for success in college and beyond.
