IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) is the internationally recognized British standard of education accepted both inside and outside Egypt.
Here at El Quds we are preparing our students in the higher grades to join the top faculties and colleges in Egypt and around the world. Our department is focused on the academic side of the student's development and this is the top priority since it is through the achievement of high grades that the student will eventually succeed.
Reflecting this priority El-Quds in partnership with the British University offers scholarships to those students who have proved themselves to be of an exceptional standard of academic achievement.
In addition to this academic focus, El-Quds staff are committed to providing a more rounded education in order to provide the necessary 'life skills' required for life in our global, modern society. More specifically, included in such an education is developing an awareness of the importance of our own cultural and religious traditions and broadening both students' horizons beyond their local culture and their general knowledge. We have several projects running as extra- curricular activities which aim to practically develop these skills
El Quds IGCSE department`s mission is to create a productive academic environment for students to
achieve their maximum potential.
We aim to do this through maintaining a strong sense of discipline throughout the department and by encouraging student dedication to his or her studies in all subjects.
• We aim to develop a student beyond his or her academic potential; they are our future leaders and
achievers
• We encourage the development of good manners in the student and a sense of moral responsibility both
towards the student to his or herself and towards society at large.
• We aim to guide students towards religious development in their personal lives.
• We aim to install in students the importance of education.
• We want to encourage the students to deal with each other in a respectful, friendly and polite way.
