"STEM Schools offer rigorous honor academic system in which students engage in intensive classes in order to develop their research and qualitative skills."

Classes merge the punctual academic curricula with interesting collaborative environment, aiming to improve students’ social and presentational qualities. What makes STEM system unique is the fact of being student-based; that is, students are the center of the educational organization as it depends on students in explaining and searching their indicated concepts. Courses taught at school include STEM subjects: Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geology, Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Geology and Technology. Besides, humanities at STEM schools are encouraged due to their importance in the several social interactions school contributes to. Humanities are languages: Arabic, English, German/French; Social Studies; Civics; and Religion. Additionally, students choose one of three available activities: Art, Library, Music to help them foster their sensational and artistic tastes. Physical Education is an obligatory course at STEM 6th Of October due to the obvious importance of sports in building students’ bodies and minds.

The most attractive feature at STEM schools in the Capstone. Since its very first graduating class in 2014, student research has played an essential role in learning at STEM High School. Requirements for the STEM High School Diploma include the completion of five original engineering or experimental research project be distributed across five semesters while be exhibited and evaluated at the end of each one. Students work in teams and choose their projects based on the topic provided that responds to one of the Egyptian Grand Challenges. Capstones are graded during the “Capstone Exhibition” by a panel of university professors in the School of Sciences and School of Engineering. The selected Grand Challenges include but not limited to:

• Housing
• Energy systems and Renewable resources
• Water availability and treatment
• Establishment of Industrial basis
• Communication
• Agriculture and Food support

The Capstone provides an alternative way for dedicated students to fulfill passion by working on research projects during applying they learned concepts to make the most effective value of the comprehensive academic system. Students are supervised by engineers and other technical professionals throughout their project. Students get involved in research and/or project development at various agencies, including corporate, university, and government institutions, throughout the metropolitan Greater Cairo area.
