Nile River Montessori

Nile River Montessori is a bilingual Montessori preschool and school in Cairo, Egypt, serving children from 0 to 12 years old. The curriculum follows Montessori principles, with Casetta for 14 months to 3 years, La Casa for 3–6 years in English, and Elementary for 6–12 years using Cosmic Education to illuminate the universe. The school places movement, language development, independence, and social collaboration at the heart of learning, with mixed-age groups where older children inspire younger ones. Teachers hold internationally recognized Montessori diplomas, many trained through AMI. Classrooms feature living plants, animals, and hands-on materials, and art, science, geography, and biology are woven into daily activities. The environment emphasizes practical life, sensorial work, and cultural studies, all within an English immersion setting. Nile River Montessori engages in community service and partnerships to promote Montessori in Egypt. Safia Trabelsi, Head of School, invites families to visit and learn about the programme.
