Please take your time to look through the School website and particularly its admissions aspects. Whilst we hope to present a comprehensive overview, there is no better way than personal contact with us from an early stage.

The Admissions Department will be overseeing the following aspects of your child's admission:
receipt of application forms, Open Morning appointments and school tours, arrangements for admissions assessments, interviews with the Principal and the relevant Head of School. |
Open Mornings
|
We recognise that international families may be coming to Cairo at different times in the year, not always in synch with the school calendar. We make every effort to facilitate personal visits to the School in these circumstances.
We hold two or three Open Mornings each year. Dates of any upcoming Open Mornings may be seen below. |
Open Mornings represent a formal opportunity to visit the School, to meet with senior staff and to see the School in action. A short presentation by the Principal and Heads of School is followed by a tour in small groups where personal queries can be addressed.
BISC Open Mornings are a very popular feature of the admissions process and parents are asked to contact the Admissions Office at an early stage to secure their places. |
