Dover International School

Established in Cairo, Egypt, Dover International School (DIS) was inaugurated in 2010. In partnership with the school community, our intent is to provide eligible students, primarily from the Middle East and in the Greater Cairo area, with a rigorous and challenging International education in both American and British systems.

Our school has developed a very conducive learning environment that is founded on diversity, integrity and success. During every step of our students’ academic journey, we strive to provide the finest International educational instruction while cultivating a passion for learning, a capacity for critical thinking and a sense of civic responsibility. Our program incorporates the following: Common Core Standards, Next Generation Science (NGSS) and the Virginia State Standards of Learning; as well as the Oxford and Cambridge standards. It also incorporates the Arabic Language subjects based on the ministry of education requirements in Egypt. It is designed to prepare students for entry into highly competitive universities.

Inquiry and problem solving approaches to curriculum implementation are utilized. It is our belief that active learners need to develop critical thinking skills to have ongoing success. Life is rapidly changing and our students will graduate with the 21st century skills, vision, and knowledge to lead and succeed in their ever changing world.

A long with our challenging academic program, many opportunities are offered outside of the classroom. Students at all levels participate in extra-curricular activities. These activities are but not limited to; sports, Student Council, peer tutoring and Model United Nations (MUN). Our program embraces the visual and fine arts. The school has introduced the Royal Academy that implements the ABRSM curriculum of Music. Both the arts and music are profiled in our school’s events, art exhibits and choirs.

Our ultimate goal and aim is to prepare our students for an ever changing world.
