I am pleased to welcome all parents and students to the academic year 2023-2024. I have served Narmer American College over the past ten years and can affirm that the past years with Covid19 conditioned education into a new reality and had its substantial impact on schools, parents and students. NAC is ready for a new academic year, with more success to add, accommodating our students back and warranting the usual academic excellence.
