Who we are?

Attuned to the belief that diversity breeds excellence, Gateway International Montessori School offers our students the choice between different international educational programs. Since its establishment in 2017-2018, and until now Gateway International Montessori School is committed to attaining the goal of being recognized as a top educational institution of excellence in Egypt and worldwide, embedding in its students to trust education to be their sole path towards self-growth and progression and to be our global answer to a united humanity, and developing our teachers through continuous exposure to Professional Development whether externally or internally.

Gateway has come into life and flourished as its vision has always been focusing and open to intercultural learning, and we have been equally maintaining and cherishing our own identity. We believe in Sun Tzu’s quote in his everlasting masterpiece The Art of War , “There are not more than five musical notes, yet the combinations of these five give rise to more melodies than can ever be heard.”

Gateway is a fully-fledged Montessori school from Early Childhood until Grade 3. Starting Grade 4, students enter the American Upper Elementary phase, then proceed to the Middle and High School stages. Our curriculum in Early Childhood and Lower Elementary is firmly rooted in Montessori, then in Grade 4 and 5 , the curriculum follows the Common Core State

Standards and the Next Generation Science Standards , besides utilizing the framework of the Primary Years Program (PYP) of the International Baccalaureate (IB), to ensure that the flow of our curriculum from Early Childhood onwards is transdisciplinary, enquiry- based, engaging, relevant, and significant.

Gateway Continues following the American Diploma standards, stated above, until grade 12. Moreover, it is working on its International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (DP) accreditation since April 2021 and expected to be granted it before the start of the academic year 2023-24. Gateway has also become a Middle Year Program (MYP) candidate school in August 2022, and is expected to be accredited before the start of the academic year 2024-25.

Thus, our first graduates in the academic year 2024-25 will be holding either the American Diploma Certificate or the International Baccalaureate Diploma or both.
