Campus
October STEM school is built on a considerably vast piece of land to include all the academic facilities, students’ residence and playgrounds it was meant to hold. The school consists of three main areas:
The school building has one of the
most bewitching architecture designs among all the Egyptian schools. With its charming
classy looks the school’s design reflects the legacy it was meant to show and share with all
other Egyptian schools.With 18 classrooms inside the building, each class moves between
these rooms during the day to keep the students motivated and refreshed. Inside these
classrooms, students are separated into 6 different groups. The groups are to work together
to guarantee helping each other and understanding their curriculums without any outside
help.
Although the school focuses on the refinement of the students’ STEM skills,
Sports play a leading role in keeping the students in shape and motivated to keep going. The
school includes a top tier volleyball court and a football yard that attract most students.
The school is also covered with wide green spaces leading to a centered pergola that’s
located between the school building and the students’ residence.
The student residence is divided into three main buildings, one for each grade, where each building is divided into 6 wings, where 5 of them are residential wings for students and the sixth is unique for each building. The special wings are mosque, gym, and residence for some teachers and school workers. Each of the main residential wings is divided into 10 rooms where each room houses 3 students. Each wing also includes 4 shared baths containing three shower stalls, three toilets, and three sinks. Each of the buildings has its own dining hall while sharing a common kitchen located in the second building. All buildings are equipped with Wi-Fi that is could only be used by the school laptops.
The school’s most memorable site is the labs ground where all the labs are located close to each other. The school includes 14 labs, which are:
