Music.
In the Primary School, all children from Nursery to Year 6 are taught music by specialist teachers in our newly renovated and dedicated music rooms, where singing, theory, composition and listening are essential ingredients.
The children also have the opportunity to participate in music clubs during and after the school day, including choirs, small ensembles and bands. A number of informal musical performances and small recitals give musicians of all standards the opportunity to play for the pleasure of others.
In the Secondary School, we offer an extensive instrumental programme, with professional instrumental tutors and a wide variety of extracurricular music activities for students of all ages. Research shows that participation in musical activities significantly develops children’s social, cognitive and motor skills as well as fostering greater teamwork. We take pride in our role as facilitators, providing opportunities through which every child can construct their own understanding of a broad range of musical genres, cultures and traditions.
Instrumental Teaching.
The Continental School of Cairo encourages students of all ages to be actively involved in developing their musical talents and interests and we believe that every student would benefit from, and has the right to receive quality instrumental music lessons. These lessons are provided through the school’s instrumental music programme, for students from Year 1 upwards.

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the Continental School of Cairo, and I hope you will find our website informative and useful the turning point came few years later .
It has been quite a journey since I have started the Continental School of Cairo in 1994 as the first Special Education School in Egypt under very challenging and difficult conditions. In those days, the concept of special education was virtually unknown in Egypt and I soon found out that it was necessary first to educate the mind of many people in authority who said it could not be done, before I could start educating children with special needs. Going through red tape and many man-made obstacles was not easy, but with persistence and conviction, the Continental School of Cairo (CSC) was officially born on a small scale in January 1994.
The turning point came few years later when many parents asked if the same level of education we have become renowned for could also be applied to mainstream education, and the Continental Language School (CLS) was born in the year 2000

The turning point came few years later when many parents asked if the same level of education we have become renowned for could also be applied to mainstream education, and the Continental Language School (CLS) was born in the year 2000 in the present campus. In 2007, the Continental International School (CIS) was opened to provide first class British education following the British National Curriculum. Looking back, I am very proud of the way the Continental School has grown rapidly over the years from a modest beginning to approximately 1000 boys and girls in all schools this year.

We aim to foster good relations between staff and pupils and between the pupils themselves. The school encourages consideration and tolerance of others and is committed to developing in its pupils a strong sense of personal responsibility and a commitment to helping others.
We pride ourselves on the pursuit of excellence both inside the classroom and out, and on encouraging children to develop their talents, discover new interests and prepare for the challenges of the 21st Century. We want the pupils who come here to leave us as confident young adults who are able to make the most of the opportunities life will offer them.
Indeed, our eyes are firmly set on the future as well as the present and as a school we are always looking for improvement in various ways. Bringing out the best in our pupils is our priority, but we also seek to bring out the best in the school’s structures and programmes as we adjust to the ever-changing demands being placed on education in this country.
