The Senior School curriculum at Uppingham Cairo continues to be broad, comprehensive and stimulating. Pupils have rich and rewarding school lives, and are encouraged to immerse themselves in the wide variety of opportunities and experiences available to them as valued members of a community of ambitious young people. Pupils receive warm and deeply personalised support from their Personal Tutor who carefully oversees their wellbeing and academic progress, alongside senior members of staff. We understand that the education of the whole person requires more than a narrow academic focus, and physical, spiritual, moral and social development continue to be carefully nurtured in the Senior School. Sports, Music and the Arts continue to be highly valued alongside other academic disciplines. Our extensive UPP&Out Co-curricular and world leading Day Boarding enrichment programmes ensure that every pupil has ample opportunity and encouragement to continue to explore their individual interests and further develop their creativity and confidence.
