What Our Students Say
How we do it
Our progressive skills- based, learner-centered education model aims to promote a culture of lifelong learning.
Holistic Curricula
Holistic, student-centered curricula that combines 21st century skills and national educational standards with Educate Me values using project work and extracurricular activities. This nurtures a child’s 6 areas of development: physical, lingual, social, emotional, cognitive, creative and cultural.
Parent and Community Engagement
We engage the extended school community of Talbeya in the volunteering and literacy programs in addition to providing awareness sessions and alumni programs for older siblings in addition to that, the school staff hired from the community to maintain community ownership over the school.
School Management and Environment
Establishing a secure and positive learning environment within our school is crucial for fostering children's academic progress and development. When students have a sense of security, appreciation, and respect, they are more inclined to participate in their studies and actively achieve their maximum capabilities. Teachers play a vital role in cultivating such an environment.
Equipped Facilitators
Empowered facilitators through building their capacities to develop curricula and practice holistic, student-centered pedagogy and build cooperative teaching communities.
Teacher professional development is critical to Educate Me school's Theory of change since it ensures that educators possess the necessary skills and understanding to create an atmosphere that fosters students' cognitive, social, and emotional growth.
Our Additional programs
Summer program
Parents programs
Acceleration program
Our summer program includes Literacy and numeracy remedial interventions, reading, music,art classes, and sports programs that lasts six weeks at Educate Me schools premises. It is a critical learning window to facilitate smooth transitions, foster exploration, accelerate academic progress, especially for struggling students, boost confidence, combat boredom, and contribute to a well-rounded educational experience.
At Educate Me, we believe that the more parents are engaged, the healthier and more successful our students will be. so we have our board of trustees from the parents who lead the school surveys (parents, Alumni, and students) and take initiative in all school decisions. They also attend workshops provided by the school to build their capacity (Microsoft Excel, communication skills, and leadership skills).
In addition to that we have planned for the Parents and Community engagement Program that includes volunteering and literacy programs and Presenting awareness sessions targeted at parents' well-being and how their own well-being and mental health affect students' development.
The program aims to support dropped-out students to accelerate their progress in the school system and not stay in regular classes where they find themselves older than their colleagues, so this negatively affects their social-emotional and self-confidence. The program was delivered through an intense camp for 30 days during summer vacation.
Our vision for our school is to be the seed for an innovative and free educational model that can impact millions of underprivileged students in Egypt.
Graduation
Every year we can see our impact on the students in the graduation ceremony, we can touch the change in their spirit, attitude, and self confidence.
