Green Valley School

The increasing need to challenge young children to discover, experiment and learn about the multicultural world around them is becoming a must and not an asset anymore. For a child, learning a second or a third language is not more difficult than learning only one. Language learning at a very young age is greatly beneficial not only to better master a second or third language but also to enhance one's very early understanding of the patterns of one's own mother tongue. Thus, teaching a language is but one aspect, using the language as a medium to enhance creative thinking skills and to develop cognitive flexibility which is here particularly underlined. Therefore, growing up in a multilingual environment equally helps to develop his/her perception of our surroundings, awareness of cultural differences and character flexibility. Green Valley School (GVS) is a well established private educational institute, catering for children from KG to Thanawya Amma / IGCSE. GVS exposes children to a mixture of cultures through teaching English, German and Arabic Language from KG1. The environment is set to ensure that children are happy, motivated and confident. GVS vision is to produce life long learners who incorporate positive attitudes and values and have the skills to embrace challenges for the future. GVS is committed to providing a high quality up to date education to meet the needs of individuals and society at national and international level, while preserving the Egyptian identity at a reasonable cost. GVS culture is suitable for organizational learning process that requires goal and solution oriented, high calibre and ambitious staff.
