About RIS

A school families belong to, and where students thrive.

Readers International School was founded to give students from diverse backgrounds a stable education, clear academic pathways, and an environment where they feel safe and at home.

Who we are

Multiple pathways. One community.

We believe great education must respond to a student's identity, ambitions and family circumstances. That is why we offer national and international curricula inside one school community united by respect, discipline, care and ambition.

Our role is not only to prepare students for exams. We help them read, think, communicate and take responsibility, so they can build their own future and contribute positively to the world around them.

Our Network

A school family across borders.

Readers International School is part of a growing family of schools. Our mother school was founded in South Sudan, and today our branches in Sudan and Egypt share the same mission, values and commitment to excellence.

Our Mission

High-quality, future-focused education through multiple academic pathways.

We enable students to preserve their identity, develop their abilities, and prepare for university and life with confidence and responsibility.

Our Values

Ten values, lived every school day.

Values are not slogans on a wall. They are the way we teach, coach and welcome every child at RIS.

Academic Excellence

High standards in teaching, learning and assessment across every curriculum.

Integrity

Honesty, fairness and responsibility guide every classroom and decision.

Respect

For self, for others, and for the diversity of our school community.

Leadership

Every student is coached to lead their learning, then to lead others.

Responsibility

Students own their behaviour, their studies and their contribution.

Inclusion & Diversity

A community where different backgrounds are a source of strength.

Curiosity

We protect the questions that make deep learning possible.

Lifelong Learning

Learning is a habit we build, not a stage that ends.

Community Service

Skills grow when they are put to work for others.

Global Citizenship

Rooted in identity, open to the world, ready to contribute.

Our Identity

One flag. One community. Many pathways.

Our flag carries the colours our students wear with pride — navy for knowledge, magenta for warmth and character, yellow for the light of learning. Flown at every ceremony since 2022, it reminds us that a school is more than a building: it is a shared identity.
