English International School Newsletter of the 13th March 2026

Dear Parents,

As we sail through the month of March, we are aware of certain special days to acknowledge and celebrate. Teachers will promote awareness of global issues in classes and talk about cultural festivals of the month.

Please note the following information and dates for your agendas:

Child Progress Conferences – Beginning week of 16th March

Teachers have begun setting appointment times to meet with parents to discuss progress of children during the second term and set goals for the remainder of the academic year.

Mock Trial – 19th March

Years 10-13 students have been sharpening their skills in debate, critical thinking, public speaking and more as they prepare for the E.I.S. Mock Trial.

Public Holiday – Eid al Fitr

Although the expected date is around 20th March, we await the final confirmation.

World Water Day – 22nd March

The international observance of World Water Day is an initiative that grew out of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The focus for this year will be on Water and Gender. We shall acknowledge this day in our classes at school. We encourage parents to explore and discuss the day’s importance at home to reinforce the focus placed on it in school.

DELF (Département de Langue Française) Exams – Institut Français

Registration for DELF exams begin this month, with different examination dates scheduled depending on the session and level. E.I.S. French teachers have distributed information regarding these exams, and strongly encourage students to take advantage of this opportunity. DELF is an internationally recognised exam for which an official diploma from the French Ministry of Education is issued upon successful completion. The qualification is valid for university applications, future careers, and is a good motivator to improve French language skills. Further details may also be obtained at the Institut Français.

School Fees 2026 – 2027

I have been asked to kindly inform you that as of September 2026, there will be a 5% increase in school fees.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Yours sincerely,

Rebecca Khelseau-Carsky

Head teacher
