Admission School 2025/2026

Dear Parents,

We are pleased about your interest in our school and would like to introduce the admission process to you.

The following steps are part of the admission process:
• Online registration
• Trial days and admission tests
• Parent meeting with the school level management
• Decision and notification regarding admission or rejection

1. Online Registration

You can register your child online here: Register now

After successful registration, you will receive an automatic confirmation of your application.

Following the review of your application, the school office will contact you regarding a copy of the most recent report card (mid-year or end-of-year report), which is required for further processing of the admission application.

2. Trial Days and Admission Test

After reviewing the report card, your child will be invited by the school office for three trial days. During the trial days, your child will participate in a regular school day from 7:30 AM to 2:30 PM. We will evaluate social and work competencies, as well as the academic level. Additionally, your child will take several tests.

Overview of our requirements:

Primary School (Grades 1 to 6):
• Placement tests in German and Mathematics

Secondary School (Grades 7 to 10):
• Placement tests in German, Mathematics, and English

Upper School / GIB (Grades 11 & 12):
• Please refer to our IB admission policy.
• New Egyptian students coming from abroad will also be tested in relevant national subjects.
• Admission tests in German, Mathematics, and English

The school office will inform parents via email about the date and procedure for the admission test for their child.

Note: Students applying with school reports from the Schengen area (Grades 1 to 10) generally do not need to attend trial days or admission tests. A decision will be based on the submitted reports and possibly a parent meeting with the school management.

Fees for trial days and admission tests:
• The total cost is 2,500 EGP (1,000 EGP for admission tests & 1,500 EGP for the three trial days).
• These fees can be paid online or at the school office on the test day.
• These fees are non-refundable, regardless of the test results.

3. Parent Meeting with the School Level Management

After the trial days, you will receive an invitation for a parent meeting with the relevant school level management. Here, you can ask any remaining questions regarding the school, teaching, or organizational matters.

The management will provide feedback on the trial days and may recommend adjustments to the desired grade level if your child’s performance significantly exceeds or falls short of expectations. The school’s decision to admit remains conditional upon such recommendations.

For parents registering their children with certificates from the Schengen area, the invitation for a parent meeting usually follows the review of the reports. The meeting can be conducted online if the parents are still abroad at the time of application.

4. Decision and Notification Regarding Admission or Rejection

The final decision about your child’s admission to Rahn Schulen Kairo is made by the school management. You will be informed by the school office. This email will also include details about the applicable fee structure and further steps. You will also receive information about additional required documents.

Please note: No information will be provided about ongoing applications or the decision of admission or rejection. If our classes are full at the time of the decision, your child will be placed on a waiting list. You will be notified via email and offered a spot as soon as one becomes available in the desired or assigned grade level.
