Taymour English School was founded in 1991.The school has two locations, one in the Roushdy district, which is one of the most sophisticated, quiet locations in Alexandria, a central location to several districts making it a walking distance to most of the students attending in this location. The second location is in Abees, by the agricultural road, surrounded by green areas and open spaces, a tranquil setting conducive to serious study, opportunities for self-discovery and companionship among friends. Whether you are attending in Roushdy or in Abees, the school emphasizes academic excellence, personal growth opportunities and development of character, as represented by our five core values: Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Compassion and Honesty. Taymour English School was originally situated in the center of the uptown of Alexandria in a District called Roushdy in a historical two story residential building.That building used to be the Taymour’s family home for years ago, it is the place where they were raised and brought up. After Mrs. Taymour had passed away, her children had decided not to give up their family home for sale, but instead they planned a preschool called “Disney Home” to be opened in it, thus keeping the house and strengthening the family connections among them. Disney Home was launched in 1991, followed by the opening of Taymour English School in 1994. Ten years later, a new campus was purchased in Abis, in 2004, accommodating the students of the American Division and more of the national System, including twenty-two classes for the American Division and the same for National System. It includes a theater, a gymnasium, basketball courts, football courts, tennis table, volleyball, libraries, computer rooms, horseback riding and art rooms. These first class facilities have been much anticipated and will enhance the school environment for students, staff, parents and caregivers. Our school is an educational community of diverse individuals who are developing their intellectual, artistic, and physical talents to the highest degree. These individuals have an exalted sense of purpose in their lives; this purpose inspires our community to transcend barriers, work harmoniously, and mobilize positive change. Our school division is a sought-after teaching institution that exemplifies highest professional standards, and innovative instructional practices. Taymour English School will provide principle-centered leadership and assist others in understanding the boundaries for collective decision making and planning. The School will use these principles to enable it to achieve its vision for the future of education in Taymour. Academic excellence is a priority at Taymour.
