HS Science High School
Make mistakes! Penicillin was discovered by accident. Don’t be afraid to experiment.
The Science High School educational project is designed for students who wish to cultivate their passion for mathematics and the sciences in a bilingual educational environment with appropriate laboratories. The study of core subjects is integrated with the Cambridge educational standard, allowing students to achieve some IGCSE qualifications in the scientific field. The High School has been recognized as equal by Ministerial Decree No. 1558 of June 25, 2021.
