AdmissionS

The admission process is quite simple!  If you are not in Cairo, fill out the Enquiry Form and submit it to the school. But if you are in Cairo, even just on a brief fact finding visit, we hope that you will find time to call and make an appointment to meet with our Principal, Miss Vicki, and have a look around the school. 

You can also start the application process by filling our Application Form after creating an account.

Assessment Interview

All new students attend a formal assessment interview. Please ensure that you bring your child’s birth certificate, passport and previous school reports to this interview, together with any specialist reports concerning special or individual educational needs, medical conditions, etc. The Assessment Fee of $100 is payable at the time of this interview and a receipt will be issued.

During this interview your child will be formally assessed in Maths and English language ability against recognised standards. The purpose of this assessment is to measure and record your child’s baseline ability as a starting point for later work and to guide any support or catch-up work required. Results are usually available within 24 hours and parents will be invited to come to school to discuss them.

Registration​

Following successful assessment you will be invited to formally enroll your child and complete all the necessary paperwork. An invoice for the registration fee (currently $500) will be issued, you will have 14 days in which to pay this and at this point your child’s place at MCSC will be reserved.

Additional support

Our desire is to admit students with a wide range of strengths and academic abilities. Admissions decisions will be made on a case by case basis, according to our ability to meet the needs of the student with our available personnel and facility resources, and where a student has Special Educational Needs or Additional Needs, an interview will be required with the Head of Special Needs Services .

The requirements of MCSC’s SEN and EAL Policies will determine the options for parents of children with Special Education or EAL requirements
