El Gouna International School was founded in
September 1998 in order to provide schooling for children in El Gouna
and the Red Sea, providing a dual curriculum for Egyptians and overseas
students.
It was opened by Mrs. Susanne Mubarak and began with 60 students
from both sections- EGIS and El Gouna National School (now known as El
Gouna Language School EGLS)
Teaching provision has increased from an original number of 10 to in excess of 60.
Below you will find a few photographs that help display our short
