Proud Moments at Gateway International School

We are honored to have completed our Cognia Engagement Review—a powerful milestone in our journey of continuous improvement.

Since our last review in 2020, Gateway has made tremendous progress, with our latest evaluation placing us above Cognia’s global IEQ Network Average. This significant growth reflects the strength of our shared commitment to quality education, innovation, and whole-child development.

Every step forward is powered by the people behind it—our incredible educators, staff, students, parents, and leaders. Thank you for believing in our vision and for showing what true excellence in education looks like.

We are especially grateful to the Cognia review team:

Dr. Zack Micevic, for leading the visit with deep insight and professionalism

Eman Mohamed and Aya Ali, for their thoughtful observations and valuable feedback

This review was more than an evaluation—it was a moment of affirmation. It validated our culture of learning, inclusive practices, student-centered leadership, and commitment to continuous growth.

We also recognize the vision and leadership of our school board:

Dr. Hatem AbdelAziz, Chairman

Ms. Fatma ElSakhawy, CEO

Dr. Passant Hegazy, School Principal

Your strategic direction and trust empower Gateway to rise above expectations and shape a future-ready generation.

We’re proud of how far we’ve come—and excited for where we’re headed, together.
