What The International School of Choueifat does

The International School of Choueifat – City of 6 October (ISC-6 October) is a private, multinational, non-selective, co-educational, English-medium day school operating a single purpose-built campus in the Dreamland compound, City of 6 October, Al Giza, Egypt. Founded in 2003 with 84 students, it has grown to serve nearly 1,400 students across Kindergarten through Grade 12, drawing from both local Egyptian families and the international expatriate community in the Cairo/Giza region. The school is a member of the global SABIS® network, which operates in 21 countries across five continents under SABIS® Educational Systems, Inc. (headquartered in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, USA).

The school's core product is a comprehensive K-12 academic program built on both American and British educational systems, preparing students for American examinations (SAT I & II, TOEFL, AP®) and British examinations (IGCSE, O Level, AS and A Levels). Curriculum delivery is supported by the proprietary SABIS® Digital Platform, the WebSchool student portal, and the SABIS® On-Demand Tutoring library of prerecorded concept videos. The school holds five concurrent international accreditations — Cognia (awarded 2025), MSA-CESS, British Council, Cambridge Assessment International Education, and Accreditation International — and operates the SABIS® Student Life Organization for student-led leadership and community-service programs alongside a range of extracurricular activities in sports, music, art, and theater.

Revenue is generated entirely through recurring tuition fees, with no publicly disclosed fee schedule. Marketing is conducted through the school's website, social media presence, community events (including anniversary celebrations and open houses), and parent referrals. Distribution is exclusively direct on-campus enrollment through an admissions process comprising an interest form, application form, and campus visit. The school's value proposition rests on brand association with the Choueifat/SABIS® legacy (dating to 1876), standardized curriculum and credit transferability within the global SABIS® network, and a documented track record of top university placements.
