Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know About BCCIS West

BCCIS West delivers the British Columbia curriculum from Canada, designed to promote creativity, inquiry-based learning, and critical thinking. Students graduate with the same qualifications as those studying in British Columbia.

High quality education!

The British Columbia Canadian School has had more almost 20 years of success in preparing students for graduation and beyond and has developed an excellent reputation throughout both Egypt and the world of international schools.

We are a fully accredited British Columbia, Canada Offshore School. Using the B.C. curriculum, our K-12 students learn to take risks, work collaboratively in groups, communicate their ideas effectively in different ways and develop inquiring minds and self-discipline.

All of our graduates attend post-secondary institutions both in Egypt and across the world.

Yes. Students at BCCIS West graduate with the Dogwood Diploma and B.C. transcripts, issued by the B.C. Ministry of Education and Child Care, just like students in Canada.

Ideal candidates are adventurous, adaptable, culturally respectful, and dedicated to teaching. They must be professional, ethical, flexible, and passionate about learning and student success.

BCCIS West offers education from Pre-K to Grade 12, including Early Childhood Education (ECE), Elementary, Middle, and High School programs.

The role of a BCCIS teacher reflects the standards of any top school in British Columbia. Teachers are expected to be BC-certified (or eligible), demonstrate strong knowledge of child development, and build positive, motivating relationships with students. They should be able to create detailed lesson plans, manage classrooms effectively, and use proven teaching strategies.

Key qualities include:

  • Strong communication and collaboration skills

  • Passion for student growth and well-being

  • High energy and professionalism

  • Comfort with technology and cultural respect

  • Ongoing commitment to professional development

Teaching at BCCIS offers certified educators a chance to join a well-established, professionally supportive school. Teachers enjoy access to Canadian standards, motivated students, authentic cultural experiences, and competitive compensation, all while living in Egypt.

If you are interested in teaching at BCCIS East or West you need to put together an application package just as you would to apply to any school in British Columbia.

This package should include:
• A current resume and cover letter.
• The names of two referees (principal, vice principal, school or faculty advisor) who have supervised your teaching/practica;
• University transcripts.
• A recent teaching report or final practicum report.
• A copy of your TRB certification (if you are not a B.C. certified teacher go https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/education-training/k-12/teach Apply through Make a Future https://www.makeafuture.ca)

BCCIS West offers a range of activities including events, trips, sports, community service, and access to modern facilities like labs, art rooms, and swimming pools.

Yes. All BCCIS students receive a Personal Education Number (PEN) issued by the B.C. Ministry of Education, confirming they are officially enrolled in the same program as students in British Columbia.
