Our Activities

At alexandria house of english, we endorse the concept of learning through discovering and doing. The three main skills we encourage our students to practise are: questioning, experimenting and discussing. With these skills, our students become creative, independent global citizens. Learning through activities that are meticulously planned for different objectives is what makes the British System stand out. We follow a framework based on Cross-curricular activities, which means activities that transcend the subjects’ lessons and cross between them creating a tangible outcome.

Cross-curricular activities are based on the objectives covered within each subject. So, different subjects’ teachers work separately in their lessons on different projects and these projects are collected and woven together in the Activity Lesson.

The Activity Lesson is important for the children to enhance their creativity and thinking strategies. Cross-curricular teaching increases students’ motivation for learning and their level of engagement with their peers and teachers. In contrast to learning skills in isolation, when students participate in interdisciplinary experiences, they see the value of what they are learning and become more actively engaged.

Throughout the year, students attend different activities, assemblies, parties and events, creating memories that shape their school years and would stay with them for the rest of their lives.

MS. KHODARY’S READING PROGRAMME

At Alexandria House of English, we believe that the world truly belongs to those who read! Ms. Khodary’s Reading Programme is an ongoing challenge for all students of all year levels in which the students read different books and write a book report expressing their views on the chosen book. Ms. Khodary reads every report herself and then meets with the students who participate

Young Authors Programme

Self Expression is the most valuable skill a student can possess. Having the confidence to publish their work for everyone to read is definitely an achievement. We cannot be more proud of our students expressing themselves in writing and taking part in a project like this. Our students consider themselves published authors as they hold their printed books between their talented hands.

Trips

Trips are arranged to give the students a chance to visit new places in Egypt and abroad. Field trips are organised to serve the academic objectives of each year level while other trips are focused around giving the students a break from all school work. All trips are supervised and the students are monitored closely at all times.

Sports

At Alexandria House of English, we strongly believe that having a healthy body is the key to having a healthy mind. Hence all students of all grade levels attend regular Physical Education lessons. This takes place alongside the different sports’ activities, tournaments and events that are scheduled round the year. The students have a wide selection of sports they can participate in: football, basketball, volleyball, handball, cheerleading and the different gymnastics programs.

Summer Camp

During Summer, our students have the option to participate in a camp built on activities to develop the students’ skills in literacy, arithmetic and scientific inquiry. Through the years, the summer camp has been successful in providing a fun, safe environment for our students to work during the summer in their second home: Alexandria House of English.

BlackLight

Being familiar with different forms of arts falls directly under our mission. Blacklight Theatre Club is an opportunity for our students to experiment with the different lighting systems, mime acting and appreciate different forms of self expression

Visual Arts

“Every child is an artist” - Pablo Picasso. Visual arts teach collaboration, through hands-on experiences. In a student centred environment, they get the chance to experiment with different materials, learn to appreciate aesthetics and develop as critics. Art is taught as a core subject from Year 1 to Year 8.

Filmmaking

It is said that a film is the only art that combines all forms of arts together: writing, acting, filming, sound and music. In his own words, Director Robert Altman explained, "Filmmaking is a chance to live many lifetimes." Film Club gives a chance to learn the tools of filmmaking, what happens behind the scenes and how things are put together to create a movie. Students learn about scriptwriting, casting, shooting and editing. Alexandria House of English Film club has produced several films throughout the years.

Drama

Teamwork is an important part of activities, and it shines in theatre. Through the Drama Club, our students get the chance to learn the different skills needed to produce a play. We have produced many successful plays for different year levels throughout the years. We pride ourselves in how confident our students are at expressing their thoughts and standing up for what they believe in. A lot of this confidence originates in the Drama Club as they are given the chance to shine on stage in front of everyone
