SAMA Misr American School offers students the best of the American and International educational practices, as well as the benefits of access to the rich culture and heritage of Egypt.
SAMA promotes a healthy and well-balanced perspective on life in its mix of curricular and co-curricular activities, with a wide variety of programs that meet the needs and interests of its students. An American curriculum program holds the belief that children learn best through natural, meaningful, integrated experiences that are relevant to their lives.
The classroom is student-centred and active. Teachers respect students‟ prior knowledge and build upon their competence. The teachers recognize the importance of trial and error, risk taking without fear of failure, and the need for time to grow. Basic skills are taught as children interact with the new subject matter presented.
The teacher facilitates learning by modelling and engaging students in a wide range of activities. Students are expected to take an active role in their learning and are encouraged to experiment and think for themselves. Students are encouraged to use a wide range of materials and resources, working individually and in small groups. Individual growth is the goal and teachers accept pupil differences. Students are actively involved in self-evaluation, while evaluation by teachers is ongoing and comprehensive throughout the learning process.
