Our story

A second homefor our students.

MEIS is where a child’s first social and community life begins. It becomes a second home for our students and their families.

We give our students the tools to become bilingual, cooperative, caring, independent and active learners throughout their learning journey, supported by our teachers and our curricula.

We do not aim to graduate only educated people, but leaders in different fields: people who inspire others and help build a better future for Egypt and the world.

From our Founder

We believe that every child is a treasure of his or her own.

From the beginning of my journey in education in 1964, I have aimed to raise balanced, respectful young people, grounded in faith and in the principles, values and traditions of our culture and our Egyptian identity.

Our philosophy is to discover each child’s talents and strengths, nurture them, and encourage every step towards success. We teach our students to share their opinions, face challenges, achieve their academic goals and pursue their personal dreams.

From our Chairman

A student-centred learning experience, built on rich curricula and enhanced by life beyond the classroom.

As we enter our seventh decade of education, we have developed our campuses in infrastructure, academic and administrative staff, teaching methods, classroom management and technology.

Manaret El-Eman International School offers British and American curricula, enriched by extracurricular activities, to give our students strong subject knowledge and the life skills they need. We are committed to strong relationships with our parents and the wider community.
