French Curriculum International Schools in Egypt

French-curriculum international schools in Egypt teach the French national curriculum in French and typically serve children from maternelle through lycée, preparing many students for the French baccalauréat or other French-recognised qualifications. Many of these schools are part of or partner with French networks (such as AEFE or the Mission Laïque Française), which affects curriculum homologation, teacher recruitment and diploma recognition. Instruction is principally in French, with Arabic taught as a required local language and English as a common second language or parallel track; some schools also run bilingual or international sections. Fees vary by city and campus and in Cairo commonly fall in a broad band roughly equivalent to EGP 97,000 - 191,000 per year, with younger grades and smaller local partnerships often costing less; families should budget additionally for registration, transport and exam fees. Admissions usually follow the Egyptian school calendar (term start in September) and operate on a rolling or seasonal cycle with assessments and waiting lists for in-demand year groups, so apply several months ahead of your intended start term and confirm each school’s exact timeline and entry tests.
