Trips outside of school form an integral and influential part in the development of all our students. Even if the trip appears to be ‘just for fun’, most trips have a specified curricular purpose.
Primary/Elementary Trips
Topic / science visits
Inter School Activities
These visits will usually be sport based, e.g. sports matches, which requires one school to go to the site of another.
Cultural Visits
These will usually involve a visit to venues like theatres, art galleries and museums.
Residential visits
These are trips where the group leaves home or Cairo on an overnight basis in order to experience the environment / visit places / view & study artifacts elsewhere in the country usually connected with topics they are studying.
Foreign Visits
These are trips where the group leaves mainland Egypt. They can involve adventure activities, sports activities or be for cultural reasons or to improve language skills. Such trips will usually involve substantial use of transport, which could include vehicles, ships or aeroplanes.
Senior School Trips
Many trips are ‘local’ visits during the school day, which tie-in with the curriculum across a number of subject areas. These include:
• Trips to the various pyramid/tomb sites and complexes along the Giza plateau
• Trips to Old Cairo
• Trips to Art galleries, museums and drama/music performances
• Trips to the GEM
• Attending MUN Conferences
• We arrange regular visits to some of the orphanages and other charity projects we support, so that students can be fully involved and engaged, not just as ‘fund-raisers’
