At The British International School, Cairo we offer a wealth of diverse and engaging enrichment activities to our pupils at every stage of their education. From academic enrichment activities, to sport and arts clubs, our enrichment activities promote fun, teamwork and a commitment to learning and self-improvement.
Our clubs are provided by either our own teaching staff or qualified coaches and these change every term providing our pupils with a range and choice of activities.
Our enrichment programme helps develop and extend our children’s confidence beyond the classroom and hopefully each individual has the opportunity to develop their strengths and to discover new talents and interests.
