All IGCSE pupils have to study four IGCSE main subjects in year 10. Those subjects are Biology, Mathematics, Chemistry and English as a Second Language.

A fifth IGCSE Subject may be chosen (this is optional). For example, pupils coming from French preparatory schools do very well when taking the French subject as a fifth subject in their first year.

Also, pupils in year 10 will have to study and pass the Arabic Language, religion and social Studies of the first Secondary (the Egyptian curriculum).

In years 11 & 12, pupils choose the subject they wish to study according to their preferences, and to the requirements of the university they would like to join later.

As mentioned in the previous section, they will also have to pass the Arabic language, Religion of the Egyptian second and third Secondary.
