About international schools in Cairo, Egypt
International schooling in Cairo includes a broad mix: full foreign-curriculum campuses (British, American and IB), French and German tracks, and a sizeable lower-fee segment that blends the Egyptian national curriculum with English-medium teaching and extra international subjects. Instruction in British/American/IB schools is usually English, but Arabic language and Egyptian social-studies/religion lessons are commonly required for national-track pupils; French and German pathways are offered by a number of schools. Fees vary widely across the city - the market median sits in the mid-hundred-thousands of Egyptian pounds per year, with many schools charging roughly EGP 100,000 - 200,000 and a lower-fee cohort available below that range. The school year generally runs September - June, admissions operate in advance with several application windows and waiting lists for popular year groups, and relocating families should budget for deposits, registration and extra charges as well as commuting time between neighbourhoods such as Maadi, New Cairo and Sheikh Zayed.
