History

History Metropolitan School was founded by a family with over 70 years of private-education experience in Egypt. The late Mr. Fouad Habib started one of the country's first private schools in 1954, laying the foundation for a legacy of educational excellence. His contributions were recognized by presidents of Egypt, including being honored by President Gamal Abdel Nasser in 1956 and receiving the Pioneer of Private Education Badge of Honor from President Anwar El-Sadat in 1979. Carrying forward the family's mission, Dr. Sameh Fouad Habib modernized the curriculum in 1983 by incorporating technology and management information systems and represented private schools in ministry discussions for more than two decades. Metropolitan School opened in 2015 under Mr. Seif Sameh Habib, introducing Egypt's first entrepreneurship program within a school setting, aligning the program with Common Core standards integrated into the American curriculum from KG1, and developed with Dubai-based consultancy BBD Education to meet high global standards. | History New Generation International Schools was founded by Dr. Salma in 2003 and opened in August 2005.
