Graduation

High School Graduation Requirements

RAS students receive support from a school counselor who has access to information about a student's classes, grades, and extracurricular activities. The college counselor can help students see the big picture when it comes to planning their academic future and finding a suitable college or university in Egypt or abroad. RAS offers an enriched, competitive, college preparatory education. We believe a complete curriculum should begin at the earliest possible level. This is why computers and foreign language learning start in the elementary years. We want our students to appreciate learning as a life-long opportunity.
