It is very important that you and your parents are working together to help you make the most of your education during these crucial first examination years. A few of the ways in which they could help might be:-
- In providing you with a good working environment at home.
- In acting as a sounding board for ideas about your work.
- To encourage you to complete your work on time.
- To be informed about the work you are doing, the structure of your courses, and the deadlines when important pieces of work should be handed in.
- To facilitate visits to places of educational value during the holidays.
Grades 11 and 12 (A LEVELS)
Grades 11 and 12 form the final two years of compulsory schooling, during which the majority of students will follow IGCSE courses in 9 or 10 subjects. These subjects will have been selected by the students in close consultation with parents and staff. Students are encouraged to maintain a broad and balanced curriculum by building upon a core of the following subjects:
- Chemistry
- Biology
- Mathematics
- Physics
- ICT
- Accounting
-
Business studies
A Levels
This qualification followed by 16-19 year old students is spread over two years and split into two parts: AS Level (Advanced Subsidiary Level) and A2 Level (Full Advanced Level). Students wishing to obtain entry to university will need to complete both levels.
The curriculum followed by students during this two year programme provides a high level, in-depth study whilst encouraging a breadth of study that provides students with a large range of academic and professional careers options in the future.
AS Level - grade 11 Students are usually expected to have selected three to four subjects for this year, one of which they may drop at the end of grade 12.
A2 Level - grade 12 In Year 12 students extend the work they have done during their previous year, normally choosing to study three of these subjects. The examinations at the end of this year result in the attainment of full A levels. These academic qualifications are respected and accepted by universities throughout the world.

Occasion: Dar El Tarbiah Outstanding Performance
"I would like you to take particular note of the remarkable performance of candidates from Dar El Tarbiah. The first candidates from Dar El Tarbiah took the IGCSE soon after its introduction into Egypt in 1991, and since then the School has made a major contribution to the development of the IGCSE In Egypt.
With more than 900 candidates, the School is the largest in the world offering Cambridge Examiners and is well known in Cambridge for its remarkable results in all subjects. The students from Dar El Tarbiah are amongst the very best IGCSE students in the world. Evidence of their excellence is certainly not hard to find, and the following observations clearly indicate their remarkable achievements.” (Please refer to the evidences attached to this report) “As you can see, the performance of the Dar El Tarbiah students is remarkable by all standards.
It is hardly surprising that the IGCSE candidates from the School have been so successful at winning places at the universities, and all the evidence is that they continue to do very welt after they haw left the School.”

Occasion: Dar El Tarbiah Outstanding Performance
"For the first time in 1994, UCLES awarded the Grade A* (the 'starred’ A (grade), a grade reserved for only the very best candidates. In the UK and the rest of the world, only about 3% of candidates were awarded this top grade, but in Dar El Tarbiah, the grade was awarded to many more than this. In computer studies, for example, almost 25% of the candidates were graded A*, and in Physics 185 out of the 26 Dar El Tarbiah students (43%) were awarded A* or A. This is a remarkable achievement.” "The standard of mathematics teaching in the School and the achievement of the candidates must be as good as anywhere in the world.” “I have studied the results very carefully, and there are many examples of outstanding achievement amongst the Dar El Tarbiah 16

Introduction:
Dar El Tarbiah IGCSE schools was built as a co-educational language school fostering the British IGCSE certificate with the aim to offer the highest educational system within the scope of the available resources.We offer a very high standard of education, which is board-based, yet tailored to meet the student's individual needs. The academic environment at Dar El Tarbiah IGCSE schools is purposeful, simulating, challenging and secure where the students flourish, grow in self-confidence and above all fulfill their potentials.
High caliber teachers, who are very well qualified and experienced, are dedicated to the promotion of high quality learning at Dar El Tarbiah IGCSE schools.
Our Vision
We are committed to provide educational excellence for all.
Our Mission
We aim to enrich our beloved students with:
- A set of basic skills – linguistic, mathematical, scientific, artistic, physical and social.
- An inquiring and discriminating mind and a desire for knowledge.
- Strong self esteem and high personal expectations.
- Tolerance and respect for others.
- A very remarkable and outstanding standard of education needed to assist them in becoming future global citizens empowered to face all the challenges of the 21st century.
School attendance and punctuality School policy:
- Cell phones are not allowed to be on for any reason during the school day.
- Cell phones in use will be confiscated and parents will be contacted..
- In cases of habitual tardiness ( arrival after 8.15 AM) , an appropriate administrative discussion will take place to remedy the problem with the students
Behavior Policy
Students are expected to be responsible for their own behavior. They should have respect for themselves, respect for others and also for the environment in which they work. This will be shown by high standards of behavior, effort, punctuality, classwork, homework, organization, attendance and uniform. Where a student's behavior does meet with expectations, this should receive a positive comment.
Homework
Students should always write homework in their planner and include the deadline by which the work has to be handed in. Parents/carers/guardians should sign the planner each week to show that they have seen it. Parents/carers/guardians are encouraged to contact the school if it appears that homework is not being set. All homework must be completed by the due deadline.
If homework is not completed:
- parents/carers/guardians may use the Student Planner to write an explanation if there is a good reason why a child was unable to complete their homework.
- the teacher should be told before or at the beginning of the lesson.
- the teacher may record non-completion of work in the Student Planner so that parents/carers/guardians may see it.
Uniform and Appearance
All students are expected to wear correct school uniform as it plays an important part in establishing a community spirit and also encourages students to take a personal pride in their own appearance. They are expected to wear it on the way to and on the way from school each day.
Requiring students to wear school uniform emphasizes our belief in the identity of the school. It also underlines the importance of being neat and tidy in all aspects of school life. We would remind parents that extremes of fashion are inappropriate to a school environment. Pupils not dressed in the correct uniform will either be sent home to change, or will work separately from other pupils for the rest of the day.
The school places great importance on uniform, and we look to the support of parents to ensure that our rules are followed.
- Our uniform is a blue polo shirt and beige trousers for boys and girls.
- Open shoes or sabots may not be worn at school.
- Girls with long hair must have it tied back.
- Jewelry may not be worn with the uniform.
- The winter uniform has long trousers and a dark blue sweatshirt and sweater with the same color.
- Physical Education (P.E.) uniform is required for all sports activities.
Dar El Tarbiah schools are proud to have more than 50,000 alumni who are leaders in every kind of business and industry worldwide.

It was mainly organized to support the interests of the University and the friendly intercourse of its graduates.
We invite you to discover the many opportunities available, from on campus events or across the country, to educational programming. Alumni department tends to organize social events, training courses, publish newsletter and magazines, to create job opportunities, inspire dreams and build future.
