Since 2012, we have founded two schools for grades K-9 that serve 1800 students to provide high-quality education embedded with Christian values. We enrich the state-mandated curriculum with computer skills, vocational development, a full arts program and sports. These schools welcome Egyptians from all religious backgrouns with most of these graduates continuing on to high school. With this type of success, we are looking to expand our model as funding and approvals are achieved.
