Saxony International School Cairo West - SIS

SIS Cairo West is a German school and kindergarten in Cairo that follows an innovative German curriculum, emphasizing holistic education through learning with the head, hand, and heart. As part of the Saxony International School (SIS) network, which has been a steadily growing educational institution in eastern Germany since 2009, SIS Cairo West benefits from a strong foundation of academic excellence. The SIS network includes 18 schools across Saxony, offering high-quality education in small classes with individual support, fostering a positive learning atmosphere led by passionate and skilled educators.

Bringing years of experience and success from Germany, SIS Cairo West became the first SIS school outside Germany in 2021, offering a unique approach to education in Egypt. The school integrates the exceptional GGB (Gesellschaft zur ganzheitlichen Bildung) concept in its kindergarten, where children naturally and playfully learn multiple languages from an early age. The focus is not only on knowledge acquisition but also on developing social competence and teamwork skills, ensuring that children grow into well-rounded individuals prepared for the future.

Mission

Education for life

At the institutions of the SIS educational association, people are committed to contributing their personal strengths, professional skills and experience to the daily work with children and young people.

The schools of the SIS network are places where first-class knowledge acquisition takes place in small classes and through individual support. Team spirit and a pleasant learning atmosphere contribute to sustainable learning success. The latest scientific findings are always incorporated into the instructional design.

We want the lessons to set impulses for lifelong learning. Learning processes are therefore designed in such a way that content is not passively absorbed, but actively, independently and creatively acquired. We attach great importance to individual, age-appropriate and sequential teaching of knowledge and skills.

Vision

Our field is the world

At our educational institutions, we want to make young people strong for the ever-growing, ever-changing world, in the spirit of our namesake Carl Hahn.

We are convinced that every student is entitled to good education and must be developed, strengthened and supported in the sense of a holistic personality. We focus on holistic learning with head, heart and hand, want every individual to develop the willingness to take responsibility for themselves and others and thus be able to stand up for social justice in our society and to work honestly and independently.

We see mutual respect, openness, respect, self-reflection, teamwork and the development of empathy, tolerance and social values as the cornerstones of our actions. Global thinking and awareness of sustainability also guide our actions.
