Research :
Our curriculum focuses on researching, to promote how important it is to learn from the vast amount of resources found online and to be as creative and independant as possible in solving their problems.
Presentation :
Our students do presentations in all subjects, where they research for information about their mean topic(s) and present what they have learned through discussing it with their classmates. All this is done under the supervision and guidance of our teachers and facility members.
Collaboration:
Students at STEM Red sea are encouraged to work together through out the whole semester, whether it is to find an idea for their capstone project or prepare for a presentation about a certain topic. This help the students to develop their communication skills and strengthen their relation with their fellow students.

Accepting only about 150 out of 5000 students annually, STEM RED SEA is pretty competitive. Indeed, the school targets prospective students with demonstrated passion and aptitude for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Students coming to STEM RED SEA should show their willingness to continuously learn, improve themselves, and share their knowledge with the school community.

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA (ANNUALLY UPDATED)
In order to get accepted into STEM Red Sea, applicants should meet one of two criteria:

To have a total grade of more than 98% in the 9th Grade.
To have a total grade of more than 95% in the 9th Grade, and to have a grade of 100% in one of three Subjects: Maths, Science, and English.
These criteria vary each year; however, they have been the same for the last one year and are expected to last for a couple more.

After meeting one of the mentioned conditions, applicants undergo four other acceptance tests - which are made to ensure the applicants’ competence in the tested fields. The four tests are English, Maths, Science, and IQ and are held nation-wide. Students are, eventually, ranked based on their scores in the four tests where the top 150 are accepted into STEM Red sea!

Ranked as Egypt’s best High School, STEM High School for Red Sea Stem was initiated as the product of a partnership between the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), World Learning and its sub-recipients the ECASE project to provide technical assistance to the Ministry of Education to establish STEM schools in Egypt. Offering a unique system that focuses on scientific, mathematical and technological fields, STEM schools target high-potential students who demonstrate strong academic skills. Taught by professors involved in post-teacher studies, the core skills and values acquired by the students throughout the curriculum emphasize and promote critical inquiry and research, problem solving skills, intellectual curiosity, and social responsibility. As the first of its kind in Egypt, the school serves applicants from different governorates: Qena, Ras Ghareb, Hurghada, Cairo, Suez as well as the cities near Red Sea.

The curriculum focuses on four main aspects which are: sciences, humanities, arts, and sports. Most classes provided are in STEM-based subjects such as chemistry, physics, biology, geology, pure mathematics, applied mathematics (mechanics), and technology. Students discuss the different topics of each subject in the classroom and then try to apply what they have learned in the labs with the guidance of our renowned faculty members. Regarding humanities, students take classes in languages: Arabic, English, German/French; Social Studies; Civics; and Religion. The purpose of these classes is to promote multi intellectuality and encourage students to share their ideas with their classmates. students are also required to enroll in one of three activities: Art, Library, Music to help them foster their sensational and artistic tastes. The last aspect is sports which is a mandatory course at STEM Red sea due to its obvious importance in building students’ bodies and minds.
CAPSTONE PROJECTS
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 STEM education. High school seniors take part in a two-year capstone project with the aim to answer a scientific question or solve a local problem. This encourages them to further develop and hone their skills.

The Capstone Project is a multi-disciplinary applied research project that stems from the idea of combining various scientific subjects into one unified final product. This process is divided into three main steps: Designing, Prototyping, and Implementing. The projects take a wide array of topics like Renewable Energy, Water Conservation, Environment, Energy Efficiency and more. At the end of the school year, the Capstone Projects are exhibited in a public fair called “The Capstone Fair”, which is held at the School. This encourages students to present their ideas and projects to the local community and decision-makers. The capstones are assessed by faculty and external evaluators based on their relevance, content, and presentation.
