Global Perspectives
This 'by invitation' ASA is designed to complement provision for our G/Y9 and 10 students who have proven academic talent, a committed work ethic, and an evident interest in the world around them. The ASA shares its name with the IGCSE course offered by Cambridge International Examinations (CIE); it is our intention to prepare students who commit to this course for this examination. Global Perspectives will serve as excellent preparation for further study in both sections, and is particularly relevant for students contemplating the IB Diploma Programme for Years 11 and 12. Over and above this, Global Perspectives will serve to develop students’ critical thinking abilities, research techniques, language competencies and other skills which are integral to students’ success in other subjects, and indeed life in general! Our aim is to make sessions interactive and provocative. Rather than viewing this opportunity as ‘more work’, we want able students to participate in a course that will challenge them in different ways and require them to think about topical issues from different, global perspectives.

excellent learning opportunities that the ASA programme offers to all our students to broaden their
horizons, develop their skills and talents as well as building confidence, self-esteem, leadership and
teamwork skills. It is an expectation that all identified G&T students will participate in a minimum of one
After School Activity of their choice per week. Please see Ms. Sliney in SF14 if you have any questions.
The International Award is alive and kicking at MES Cairo. If you are in Y/G/DP10-12 and seeking

MES Cairo's Pioneer Programme involves G/Y7-8 students from both sections of the Secondary
school. Pioneers consistently exhibit qualities of the school's graduate profile. Students participate
in the programme by attending weekend excursions and ASAs. Through these activities, Pioneers
gain new skills, show leadership, provide service, make new friends, and challenge themselves. The
programme builds confidence and instills values and life lessons in students. Participating in
weekly ASAs and weekend trips allow for these lessons to be put into action. Check the Student
Bulletin for information about upcoming events!
Students will gain a sense of international empathy as they research world issues and conflicts
from the perspective of a foreign country. Within the MUN venue, students will collaborate
with students from other international schools, representing a broad range of perspectives
and value systems. The goals of the conferences are not only individual and team
achievement within the MES Cairo student cadre, but MUN experiences also instil a greater
sense of international empathy. Students will participate in a UN-style session, attempting to
build consensus on some of the most difficult and complex issues of the modern world.
Participation is by approved application only; for G/Y/DP10- 12 students
The National Honor Society (NHS) and National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) are the premier
organisations in the USA established to recognise outstanding High School and Middle level
students. More than just an honor roll, NHS and NJHS serve to honor those students who
have demonstrated excellence in the areas of Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character.
These characteristics have been associated with membership in the organisation since their
beginnings in 1921 and 1929. Chapter membership not only recognises students for their
accomplishments, but challenges them to develop further through active involvement in
school activities and community service.
National Honor Society/ National Junior Honor Society: membership is by invitation and
approved application only; for Y/G8-12 and DP11-12
