Dear Parents,

I am both honored and excited to join Highlands School of Egypt family as the new School Principal. As I step into this role, I am filled with enthusiasm for the opportunities that lie ahead and a deep commitment to building upon the strong foundation that has been established.

Education is not just my profession but my passion, and I am committed to fostering an environment where every student is encouraged to dream big, explore their potential, and achieve greatness. My vision is rooted in collaboration, creativity, and inclusivity. Together, we will launch initiatives that not only advance academic excellence but also nurture the whole child; intellectually, emotionally, and socially to discover themselves and unleash their hidden powers.

The overall journey is very exciting. It is not only about lesson plans, the scheme of work and objectives. We will take care not only about short-term gains, but also, long term life gains of these young human beings. We will work extra hard to help them build their self-confidence, skills of cooperation, overcome the challenges of a digital world and find more balance in their lives. It is not about how tough you are; It is not about how smart you are; It is not about how fast you are; it is about who you are.

There is no I, me, my. Instead, there is WE, TOGETHER, and US!

“If a child can’t learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn.”― Ignacio Estrada

With gratitude and anticipation,

School Principal
