Parent Update

Communication with the School

Parents are requested to communicate directly with the administration should they have questions or concerns about any aspect of their child's school life.

Parent-Teacher Relations

SABIS^® and ISC - Egypt have a different approach from most other educational institutions when it comes to parent-teacher relations. In the event that parents have a concern or a problem, or seek information about their child, they meet with their Academic Quality Controller (AQC) instead of meeting their child's teachers.

The AQC has a comprehensive picture of the child's academic and non-academic status, both past and current, and is thus qualified to deal with any concern, question, or problem that parents may have. After discussion, any measures agreed upon are passed to the teachers or other persons concerned. Should problems be more complex, further investigation will be carried out and the results conveyed to the parents as soon as possible. Parents may request meeting the School Director or Regional Director as needed.

End-of-Term Reports

Parents receive three reports a year; one at the end of each term. The reports are an in-depth record of their child's academic performance and extracurricular activities over the term. The final end-of-year report summarizes performance over the entire year, including important information related to promotion to the next grade.
