The British system of education is internationally recognized and designed to encourage high academic standards through a practical approach to teaching and learning. It is accepted as a university entrance qualification by all universities in Egypt, both public and private, as well as most universities abroad. The key features of the British system of education are as follows:
Foundation Stage
The Foundation Stage (FS1 and FS2) offers a play-based curriculum structured around three prime areas and four specific areas of learning. In the prime areas, children develop personal, social, and emotional skills, physical development, and communication and language skills. In the specific areas, children learn mathematical concepts, literacy skills, understanding the world, and creative expression through arts and design. This holistic approach nurtures children's physical, emotional, social, cognitive, and creative development.
International Curriculum
International Liberty School (ILS) follows the Cambridge International Curriculum, which includes the Cambridge International Primary Programme (CIPP) for younger students and progresses to the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) for secondary students. The school adheres to the standards and guidelines set by Cambridge International Education, which is based on the National Curriculum of England.
Primary Stage (Years 1-6)
Also referred to as Key Stage 1 (Years 1-2) and Key Stage 2 (Years 3-6), the Cambridge International Primary Curriculum (CIPP) is followed, covering core subjects like English, Mathematics, Science, and Global Perspectives.
Lower Secondary Stage (Years 7-9)
Known as Key Stage 3, students follow the Cambridge Lower Secondary Curriculum, which builds on the primary years and prepares them for the more specialized IGCSE curriculum.
Upper Secondary Stage (Years 10-11)
This is Key Stage 4, where students study for the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) examinations.
Each stage is designed to provide a comprehensive and cohesive educational experience that prepares students for higher education.
