Mrs. Aicha Wassef
School founder

I welcome You to our New Horizon International School website and sincerely hope it will provide you with a perspective of how proud we are of our students, staff, parents and ethos. I look forward to receiving you if you are a new parent and to share with you our experience if you are already a parent with us.

Born in Egypt to an Egyptian Father and Swedish Mother, I had the opportunity to embrace the diversity of world cultures and universal philosophies. Since 1981, I was blessed to have the privilege of working with young learners, first as a teacher and then in education management. As an educator, together with my team of administrators and teaching staff, we take special interest in coaching young people and working with their parents. I have taken special interest in wellness and I have seen the effect of well-being on learning. I therefore further certified in Yoga Therapy and Holistic Health Sciences which, enabled us at New Horizon to care for our students through an integrated approach. This approach enhances the school community members’ physical, mental and emotional health enabling everyone to enjoy school life and beyond. At New Horizon International School, children thrive in a stimulating environment. We provide this environment by offering challenging and interesting programmes that will not only educate a child, but will also allow each young learner to attain knowledge and enrich the overall learning experience. All members in our school community share in the tasks of providing for our children. Parents are partners in these tasks. I welcome every learner who wishes to have a positive schooling experience and every parent who will take pride in offering their child the finest education in a stimulating, safe and disciplined school climate.

I am proud of every child in our care and every student who has graduated from our school and I am assured over the years that every child who has been educated at our New Horizon International School is a responsible and productive member of society.

Our life skills programmes, which I have incorporated within the system, enhances our young learners’ persona and nurtures their potential and innate gifts providing them with limitless possibilities. 

May harmony, knowledge, and joy be part of everyone’s journey; and so be it.
